IPL says “Yatra Pratibha Avsara Prapnotihi” which means “where talent meets opportunity” and it is proving absolutely correct about the likes of Ayush Badoni, Tilak Varma, Sai Sudarshan, Umran Malik, Mohsin Khan, Jitesh Sharma and many more. This tournament keeps giving.#TATAIPL

Since we are officially out of this tournament now and since the same things have been happening for more than half a decade now bcuz of the kinda management we have, I hope the owners will look into this matter. A team is made of 11 players not just Andre and Sunil. #KKR
