Indian Premier League 2019: Seems like ace commentator Harsha Bhogle has again hit the nail on its head after all eight franchises released their final list of retained and released players ahead of next months auctions. Like always, he defined what every team will be looking at when they hit the auction table. According to him, with the team, Chennai Super Kings and SunRisers Hyderabad have gone for they are ready to play, which means they have hit the right balance and combination to succeed. Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Rajasthan Royals seem to have a proper core but still needs to do some shopping at the auctions. But the ones Harsha feels need to do a lot of shopping are Kolkata Knight Riders, Kings XI Punjab, and Delhi Daredevils. His post read, “Thoughts on #IPL2019. @ChennaiIPL and @SunRisers look ready to play. @mipaltan, @RCBTweets and @rajasthanroyals have a little bit of shopping to do but have a pretty settled core. @KKRiders @DelhiDaredevils and #kingsxipunjab will have a shopping list.”
