Looking forward to connecting with Jaipur businesses!

Hardik for a combination of players who will fill a lot of gaps for MI and are not crucial starting XII players for RR but are too expensive to just be warming the bench.

**Hardik 🔄 Bishnoi + Curran + Deshpande + Hetmeyer**

Benefits to MI:

Bishnoi >>>> Raghu Sharma , Markande, even Ghazanfar/Santner (since they take up an overseas slot)

Deshpande >>> Chahar, Shardul ( plus he's a local boy for whom Wankhede will be suitable and he has improved his batting)

Hetmeyer >>>> Rutherford (at a negotiated price)

Curran >>>> Boult (plus batting option too)

Money wise though these 4 players cost almost 27 Cr but MI will easily be able to negotiate with the players for a lesser amount. Hardik himself is perfectly capable of demanding 20 - 25 Cr coz his current price of 16 Cr is quite less.

Do you think this is a good deal and what are the realistic chances of it actually happening?

Ofc a lot will depend on the captaincy situation with RR.

Who are you retaining/ trading / releasing / targeting for next year?

I think management would be looking at something like this

1. Jaisu

2. Boss baby

3. DJ

4. Captain RP

5. Ferreira

6. Any fast bowling allrounder

7. Curran

8. Jaddu

9. Archer

10. Punja

11. Burger / Indian pacer.

This doesn't look like a championship winning side tbh .Our middle order still remains the weak link unless we get a really good number 6. What do you guys think? Do you change anything?
