Sameer Rizvi is another superstar player this time in the IPL star auction who was ‘taken’ by Australian pacers Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins after 20 crores. Twenty-year-old Rizvi, who has not yet played for India, was hired by Chennai Super Kings for 8.4 crore rupees. Why did Chennai acquire Rizvi who has not played a single match in international cricket for a huge amount? Those insiders are the scouts of the Chennai franchise.
Who are Scouts?
IPL scouts are the ones who are spreading their nets in tournaments all over India, regardless of city or village, for new players who can become assets for them. A spark of excellence or the X-factor will gaze, observe and test the onlookers. If you feel satisfied, you will own it at any cost. Sameer Rizvi is the star who was discovered by such scouts of Chennai. Rizvi, popularly known as right-hander Suresh Raina, has played just 11 Twenty20 matches for UP. But the 47-ball century and the title of top scorer in the UP T20 League was a golden price for Rizvik, who is firing in the middle order.
How about scouting?
Every team will have a scouting team consisting of former players, experts and data analysts. Their work lasts 365 days. Maximum matches will be watched live. Information will be collected from umpires, referees and commentators. The main quality needed by the scouting team is to be able to see with the inner eye that ‘he will grow up’. Before the season, they will conduct a camp with the players they have watched.
Tests will be held there to measure the talent of the players. The camp will evaluate the performance and mental strength of the players in different competitive situations. After that, you can go to the auction.
Ganguly was stunned; Kushagra joined the team
What the IPL franchises are now paying attention to are the Twenty20 leagues and trials that are being organized better by the state boards. Jharkhand’s Kumar Kushagra was helped in the auction this time by succeeding in impressing Delhi Capitals director Sourav Ganguly. 2 months ago, the 19-year-old saw Dada ‘Podik’ Dhoni in the wicket-keeper bat during the trials held in Kolkata.
Ganguly had told the star’s father that he would bring Kushagra to Delhi even if he spent 10 crores. Kushagra holds the world record for the youngest player to score 250+ runs in a first-class match. When he achieved the record at the age of 17, he was overtaken by former Pakistan player Javed Miandad. Kushagra’s remuneration is Rs 7.20 crores.
