It has a little bit of bounce. It has a little bit of movement and sizes are pretty big. He thrives under normal conditions anyway. I think he will thrive here a lot," Robin Uthappa stated.

Robin Uthappa also stated that franchise may opt for Nicholas Pooran as skipper after KL Rahul was let go. But he also pointed out that if team brings in an Australian star, who could fit under he coach Justin Langer's system. He also picked a couple of choices which franchise may select in mega auction.

"I would go back to QDK (Quinton de Kock). That h Kyle Mayers as well. He is a good pick as well. He is a foreign opener. Will Jacks could be a fit here. We saw him taking Rashid Khan to town. Conway plays spin well, so he could do well at Lucknow but I would keep Devon Conway's RTM at CSK (Chennai Super Kings) itself," former India star said.
