IPL 2022 : Ahmedabad franchise likely to sign Shubman Gill as their 3rd draft pick alongside Hardik & Rashid : Report
Xtra Time Web Desk : As the mega auction of the Indian Premier League approaches, the two new franchises namely Lucknow and Ahemdabad are in full flow to sign their draft picks for the upcoming season. And according to reports, the Ahemdabad franchise are keen to sign Shubman Gill as their 3rd draft pick alongside Hardik Pandya and Rashid Khan.
According to a PTI report, Pandya is all set to captain the Ahmedabad franchise for the season and they have also finalised Rashid Khan, who otherwise would have gone for a "bomb" at the auctions. However, their third choice Ishan Kishan didn't work out and they zeroed in on Gill, who could also be seen as a potential captaincy candidate.
"Ahmedabad has decided on its players and accordingly informed the BCCI about their draft picks. Hardik, Rashid and Shubman are the three choices," a senior IPL official told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
"They wanted Ishan Kishan badly but it is understood that Ishan is more interested in going back to the auction and there is a high chance that MI might buy him at a premium price."
