They Will Break The Bank For Rahul Chahar – Aakash Chopra
Speaking on YouTube channel Chopra said RCB wants a leg spinner in the team because at the Chinnaswamy stadium no other spinners perform well. He mentioned that Ravi Bishnoi and Chahar are the options available and RCB will break their bank for the former Mumbai Indians spinner Rahul Chahar.
Chopra added that Yuzvendra Chahal might not go to the auction as he might be picked by one of the two new franchises – Lucknow and Ahmedabad.
“RCB will not get Rashid, they can forget about that. Instead, they will go after Rahul Chahar, big time. No spinners apart from leg spinners work at the Chinnaswamy stadium. He also bowls a lot quicker in the air.
“Ravi Bishnoi is also an option, but I’m thinking Rahul Chahar. They will break the bank for him. Chahal might not make it to the auctions,” Chopra said during a Q & A session on his YouTube channel.
