00:00Rs. 7.5 crores.
00:01Yes, friends, let me tell you, yesterday, RCB's bike was nothing special.
00:05They were not able to spend their money in a good way.
00:08But I think they have learned from yesterday's mistakes.
00:11And here, we can see Bhubaneswar Kumar in his tent.
00:14RCB has given Bhubaneswar Kumar Rs. 10.75 crores in his tent.
00:20So, Bhubaneswar Kumar, for RCB, definitely,
00:22the work that he was doing for Hyderabad till now,
00:25now he will do for Bangalore.
00:26However, the track of Bangalore, where RCB will have to play 8-9 matches,
00:33I think, in the entire IPL season, if a team drops before the finals,
00:37they will play 18 matches.
00:38Out of that, they have to play 9 matches in their home den.
00:40In those 9 matches, how much Bhubaneswar Kumar will be able to do on Chinnaswami's pitch,
00:45this is something to be seen.
00:47This is a matter of consensus.
00:50Because Bhubaneswar Kumar's capability does not come in that.
00:54The conditions there, the field is small, there is no swimming track.
01:00RCB has joined him there.
01:02He has definitely played a big role in his camp.
01:05And till now, the most clever buy of this auction by RCB is Bhubaneswar Kumar.
01:11Bhubaneswar Kumar has been an asset for Hyderabad.
01:13A bigger asset, he will be proved to Bangalore.
01:17Yes, yes.
01:18And the ball that is being hit now, sir, is on Mukesh Kumar.
01:21And Mukesh Kumar was also proved to be very talented in last year's IPL.
01:25And here, we can see Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings continuously bowling on him.
01:32His base price was from 2 crores.
01:35And here, Mukesh Kumar has bowled up to 5.5 crores.
01:41If we talk about his T20I's, if we talk about international matches,
01:46then he has hit 20 wickets in 17 matches.
01:49And his specialty, Shubham, apart from hitting wickets, he chokes the run.
01:55And the way he is using Yorkers,
01:59in his small international career, he has shown that he is calm,
02:03he has control over his nerves.
02:05He can perform well at any stage of the match.
02:08So, he will definitely get the reward for this.
02:11And I will not be surprised, right now,
02:13there is a fight between Punjab and Chennai.
02:17But I will not be surprised if, on the later stage,
02:20Kolkata Knight Rider chips in.
02:22I feel that Kolkata Knight Rider also needs a bowler like this in this season.
02:27They don't have a star.
02:29So, Mukesh Kumar has a pace,
02:32good Yorkers,
02:34and a temperament.
02:36So, I feel that KKR, I feel, later on,
02:39stage of the auction, later on, stage of the big, they will chip in.
02:43We can also see his real history.
02:45Because, in 20 matches, he has choked 24 wickets.
02:48He has played with the economy of 10.
02:50And, now, we will have to see.
02:52Because, his price is increasing.
02:54It is increasing continuously.
02:56We can see the future of Punjab.
02:57Absolutely.
02:58And, Mukesh Kumar deserves it.
03:00We always talk about the batsman.
03:03But, yesterday, we were talking in this studio.
03:07T20 is such a format,
03:09where only good teams have good bowlers.
03:13And, matches are always won by bowlers.
03:15Batsmen make matches.
03:17And, bowlers win matches.
03:18So, Mukesh Kumar, like,
03:20if there is an attack in your camp,
03:22then, definitely, you have got an upper hand.
03:24You have a strength.
03:26You have a depth.
03:27Although, his performance hasn't come from batting,
03:30on the international stage.
03:32But, the record suggests,
03:36the data, whatever is available,
03:38is that he can slog.
03:40And, here, sir, Delhi Capital has used RTM for Mukesh Kumar.
03:44For 6.5 crores.
03:45Now, we will have to see,
03:46whether Punjab Kings can give a higher price or not.
03:50Now, there is a lot of talk in Punjab's arena.
03:55There is a lot of talk with Ricky Ponting.
03:57Yes, absolutely.
03:58And, there is a lot of talk.
04:01Now, we will have to see,
04:03how far these 7.5 crores can go.
04:07No, no, I feel,
04:08his ball will go higher.
04:10And, see, Shubham,
04:11what happens is,
04:12the chances you get,
04:13and you take advantage of those chances,
04:16then, this day, yes, this day comes for you.
04:19You are fighting in two teams.
04:21Delhi wants to use RTM.
04:23And, Punjab also doesn't want to leave him.
04:25So, his bidding will increase.
04:26The chances Mukesh Kumar has got,
04:28in such a short time,
04:29he has performed well.
04:31Last time, if you see,
04:33in the IPL,
04:34the franchise he was playing for,
04:37he didn't get chances like that.
04:39He didn't get that kind of exposure.
04:41But, like…
04:42And, Delhi has increased his price by 8 crores,
04:44Mukesh Kumar.
04:458 crores, my God.
04:46Now, we will have to see,
04:47whether Delhi…
04:48Punjab…
04:49Punjab has given 8 crores.
04:50And, there is RTM on Delhi.
04:53Now, Delhi is thinking,
04:54whether their price should be increased or not.
04:57Because, we have to keep purse money in mind.
04:59Yes, absolutely.
05:00And, the way…
05:01We have to take some more players.
05:02And, on top of that…
05:03The way the pictures are going on our screen,
05:06on the face of Punjab Kings owner, Priti Jinta,
05:09there are some worries too.
05:12Now, they are thinking,
05:13what if they use RTM for 8 crores?
05:19In Punjab Kings lineup,
05:23how much importance can Mukesh Kumar have?
05:27Mukesh Kumar is a fast bowler.
05:29And, he comes in middle overs.
05:30And, he plays very well.
05:32As we said,
05:33he has a very good impact on the run rate.
05:36If he comes,
05:37then, somewhere or the other,
05:38he puts a break for the opponent team.
05:41He tries to stop them.
05:43Yorker does a very good, perfect job.
05:46And, there,
05:47he is also capable of taking wickets.
05:50And, see, along with this…
05:518 crores, 8 crores.
05:53He used RTM for 8 crores.
05:54And, in 8 crores,
05:55he is again in Delhi Capitals.
05:57Yes, absolutely.
05:58For Delhi Capitals,
05:59this auction is going very well.
06:01They have bagged a player like KL Rahul.
06:03Now, they have bagged Mukesh Kumar.
06:05And, if we look at yesterday's IPL,
06:06in Delhi,
06:07in the beginning,
06:08for almost all good players,
06:09they go for bowling.
06:10And, then,
06:11for the other franchises,
06:12perhaps,
06:13by getting more money out of their wallets,
06:16till now,
06:17Delhi's decision has been very strategic.
06:20It has been a very good,
06:21strategic,
06:22strategic buying of Delhi Capitals.
06:25And, in Delhi Capitals,
06:26Mukesh Kumar has been added again this year.
06:28He will play IPL for Delhi again.
06:30So, the upcoming IPL will be interesting for Delhi.
06:34Before we go to the next players,
06:36we can also talk a little about Punjab.
06:38Although, Deepak Chahar is bowling.
06:40Don't miss out.
