The Indian Premier League 2022 auction saw a major shuffle in the player movement. In a shocking move, Royal Challengers Bangalore listed Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal Patel in the auction pool. While RCB bought Harshal back for a massive Rs 10.75 crore, they did not bid a single time for Chahal.

Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, and SunRisers Hyderabad engaged in a bidding war for the player and it was Rajasthan that came out on top and bought the spinner for Rs 6.5 crore. At the time, a heartbroken Chahal had admitted that he was hurt that RCB let him go.

“As part of the RCB franchise for eight long years, I am still unsure why I was dropped from the team. I was never informed about this decision after the IPL auction, which deeply saddened me,” Chahal had said on the Beer Biceps podcast.

“No one even spoke to me. I think I played around 114 games for them. I couldn’t understand what happened suddenly,” Chahal had further added.

Royal Challengers Bangalore’s former director of cricket Mike Hesson opened up on the situation and agreed that Chahal had every right to be angry at the franchise. Speaking to cricket.com, Hesson revealed that he had spoken to Chahal after the auction but was not able to explain him the auction dynamics.

“I remember ringing Yuzi afterwards and he was upset. It was very difficult to try and explain to him the auction dynamics at that time. He was visibly disinterested, and I don’t blame him. He was an RCBian and he was frustrated. But I can assure everyone that he is well-aware of the issues we were confronted with,” Hesson said on cricket.com.

Problem of Set Six

The former RCB-man explained that the team was not able to buy back Chahal due to the position that Chahal was in at the auction. Hesson said that there was no way that Chahal could have been bought because the spinner was not in the marquee players’ list. And in ‘Set Six’ of the auction, the franchise did not have enough money at the back end.

“We only retained three players because we wanted to buy back both Harshal Patel and Yuzi at the auction. By only retaining three players, it gave us an extra four crore to do that,” Hesson said, speaking on the show.

“Probably the thing that I’m frustrated about even now is the fact that he couldn’t make the top two marquee lists despite being one of the best ever in the IPL. That was ridiculous. And the fact that he came in at No.65 in the auction list (sic) meant that it was really difficult for us to guarantee that we will get him,” Hesson added.

“But yes, we spent hours and hours at the mock auction debating how we could potentially buy Yuzi,” concluded Hesson.
