PLAYERS BOTH CSK, RCB COULD BID FOR

Rishabh Pant : It was first a surprise to see Delhi Capitals not holding onto Pant. Not only is he a livewire behind the stumps, but can also double-up as the premier batter of the side and a captaincy choice. He could solve a number of problems for both the franchises and hence one can expect a bid. 

KL Rahul : So much talk and speculations around Rahul and his future at the Lucknow Super Giants . Eventually, we saw Rahul being released. He is an experienced player with multiple abilities. Rahul is a captaincy option, plus, he can keep wickets and bat almost anywhere in the batting order. Both franchises would have him in their wishlist.

Jos Buttler: He is a proven match-winner, has ample IPL experience and that always is a bonus. The English T20 captain is a modern-day cricketer who plays all formats. Given his experience, he could be a hot property at the auction. He can lead the side and in addition to that, he can keep wickets and open the batting.
