Many teams would go after Ishan Kishan in IPL auction, says Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh lavished praise on wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan, saying many teams would go after him in the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction as the young cricketer can win the game with his impeccable batting. He added that Kishan's presence in the team provides an edge in the batting department as the 23-year-old has a strike rate of over 130 in T20 cricket.

IPL 2022: Mumbai Indians Will Do Their Best To Get Back Ishan Kishan, Says Former India Cricketer

Former India batter Aakash Chopra reckons that Mumbai Indians will do everything in their power to get Ishan Kishan at the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction. The IPL mega auction will be held on February 12 and 13 in Bengaluru. Kishan has listed his base price as Rs 2 crore but he is not a part of the marquee set. "It will be very very difficult because there is no right to match card, to begin with, and secondly, their whole success formula that they eventually found was about two skilled players - they had Hardik, Krunal and Pollard one after the other and that provided them with a lot of depth. Their wicketkeeper was always a phenomenal batter, when you look at Quinton de Kock or Ishan Kishan - is it possible to now get all of them together, it's almost next to impossible," Chopra said on Star Sports show 'Game Plan -- IPL Auction Special'.

2nd ODI: India look to seal series against West Indies

KL Rahul's batting position on his return from a short break as a buoyant India aim for another demolition act against the West Indies in the second ODI to seal the three-match series here on Wednesday.

Infused with new energy under Rohit, India looked a completely overhauled unit after being whitewashed in South Africa and the team would certainly want to continue from where it left of on Sunday night. The biggest positive for India is that Rohit, who had missed the South Africa series due to a hamstring injury, was in brilliant form on comeback.
