In just a few days, there will be an auction of players for the new season of the Indian Premier League. This time a small auction is being held, so it will be held only on one day. It has been revealed which players will be bid in the auction. There are many new players in it, while there are also some faces who were released after the last season. But one such player is missing from this, who was a part of Virat Kohli's team Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last season and was constantly seen with the star batsman.
release without giving a chance
BCCI on 9 December auction Revealed the names of 350 players, who have been shortlisted out of 1390 players. But young batsman Swastik Chikara did not find a place in this shortlist. Explosive right-handed batsman Swastik Chikara was bought by RCB in the mega auction last year at a base price of Rs 30 lakh but he did not get a chance to play a single match. After this RCB released him.
Swastika bat is not working
But Swastik Chikara was not the only player to be released.
Every team including RCB released many players and most of them are returning in the auction but Swastik Chikara is not in it. Swastik, just 20 years old, is known for his explosive batting and has created a stir in the UP T20 League. But he has not been seen in the field for some time. His performance in UP T20 this year was not anything special and in 13 innings he could score only 370 runs at a strike rate of 123. At the same time, he has not got a place in the Uttar Pradesh team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy.Swastika remained like a shadow with Virat
Swastik did not get a chance in the last season but he was in the news for other reasons.
During the entire tournament, he was constantly seen like a shadow along with Virat Kohli. Even whether it was carrying drinks on the field or celebrating victory, Swastika was constantly seen with Virat. Due to this, he had to face some trolling on social media but at the same time he also got love from the fans and the team.
