'Yuzvendra Chahal was visibly disinterested and frustrated': Mike Hesson recalls RCB's 'ridiculous' IPL auction move

Hindustan Times  

Royal Challengers Bangalore's decision to release their top spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, ahead of the 2022 season of the Indian Premier League has remained one of the most bizarre choices made by a franchise. However, RCB, ahead of the mega auction in 2022, opted to retain Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Mohammed Siraj, thus releasing Chahal, who was later roped in by Rajasthan Royals. RCB had planned to sign back Chahal and Harshal Patel during the mega auction, but matters got complicated after the leg-spinner failed to make the marquee list. Probably the thing that I'm really frustrated about even now is as you said Yuzi is probably one of the top-five players of all time for RCB but he was also one of the best ever in the IPL and the fact that he couldn't make the top two marquee lists at that time was ridiculous, the fact that he came in as number 65 on the auction list means that it was really difficult for us to guarantee we were going to get him," the former New Zealand coach added.
