Punk Percy moments

Getting kicked out of 6 schools by age 12 because he refused to stop being a bully beater

Telling the gods to fix how they run their shit with his whole chest no hesitation as soon as he thought to and them listening due to a mix of fearing and respecting him

The leadup to it being his bully beating manifesting/escalating in him fighting against an entire pantheon as a system for four years straight and continuing to afterwards too

Gifting Nico a The Ramones shirt

Insulting his classmates in Som for being 'a bunch of rich white boys' and carrying on his anti-capitalist mentality from the start and the franchise as a whole,including refusing to ask Poseidon for or accept riches

Confirmed to be psychologically immune to selling out in one of the Tkc crossover short stories as a god tried to use their powers to brainwash him but they had so little in common with an emphasis on want for positions of authority/OP abilities Percy was able to defeat him

Participating in Rachel's charity events and protests during their time at Goode High

Instantly riding for Hazel harder than anyone and nurturing her as an older brother figure and pseudo-dad as he does Nico

Disliking Annabeth flirting with him as she uses white girl tactics so he found her attempts gross and completely flew over his head as he couldn't comprehend how all That could be expressing romantic attraction

'The sea does not like to be restrained'Translation:Percy is an anarchist

Going on a quest to prove himself as completely unlike cis men to an arcaic group of young abused by the patriarchy girls and succeeding because he IS completely unlike cis men(read:transfem gender fuckery)

Sympathizing with victims of the system fullforce and in general(instant forgiveness and understanding towards Silena for being groomed to the bad side/eagerly speeding to save Chris from the Labyrinth/gentle treatment towards Ethan even as they fought and worrying over him at time with Luke)

Unstoppable brutality when it comes to fighting

His sense of humor as a whole

His Rbf is implied to reflect his anti-societal mentality

Not caring about his image in favor of being his authentic self no matter what happens or how much he hates himself at the moment as he always does

Compared in a contrasting way to Luke,who's fash trash yet constantly talks down to by him for not being as radical as him despite Percy knowing a lot more about and doing a lot more to do what's good for the people than he does(which is to say:Nothing except self-justfied violence against them and lying about doing good things for them only to never followup on them,as irl white men in authority pretty much are always like)and for not having it as bad as him despite Luke growing up sheltered in a fantasy land where everybody worshipped him while Percy grew up hurt nonstop in the real world and also taking Percy's rightfully earned title of 'The Gods' Martyr' for himself even in death like the attention seeking manchild he was when the gods barely did anything to him compared to Percy and tons of other demigods

Instantly clocking the gods as bad in Tlt thanks to his own past experiences with authority figures

"EXTRA EXTRA! Get the latest issue of the Treehouse Tribune™!"

————

The mad lad himself, George Beard! I've been thinking about this kid a lot in this AU and I'm switching things up a bit.

George is the notorious school prankster but he covers up his tracks well. Many teachers and students assume it's him, because duh, but without proof he can't be punished for the campus wide goofs and gaffs.

George credits the pranks to an entity known as 80-HD (going for a Banksy vibe) and 80-HD is beloved by students who view him as a school urban legend.

Mr. Krupp is 98% sure that George is 80-HD but can't do much about it other than try to keep a close eye on him. He CAN, however, give George detention for his makeshift newspaper, the Treehouse Tribune.

See, without Harold to draw comics with him, George needed an outlet to funnel his creative writing skills. So he made a fake newspaper with made up stories, spoof articles, and a hokey advice column à la Mad Magazine but PG and less political.

Since I'm keeping the characters strengths and weaknesses, George doesn't dare try to draw anything as he doesn't think he's very good. Instead, he has taken up a photography elective to help with his newspaper.

Krupp can punish George for the newspaper distribution and George often ends up having to spend lunch in the principle's office, something he has long gotten used to over the last 4-5 years. In this time, I think Krupp has grown a reluctant soft spot for the young lad, as despite all his pranks, goofs, and silly nature, George hasn't made any real friends at Jerome Horwitz.

George is beloved by students, but not liked by students. He's a 9-10 year old in the 7th grade. Kids in his grade either think he's too immature or are jealous that he skipped so many grades, while kids his age are either intimidated by his grade (because grade politics were a thing in American elementary school) or don't want to associate with him on a personal level.

His antics are admired, but rarely does anyone want to help/share credit/notoriety with him.

He's kinda lonely.

The most OOC thing about Krupp in this AU might be that he feels bad for George. I imagine that, underneath all his mean, principle demeanor, Krupp doesn't actually want to expel George, but rather wants to help him succeed academically. (In the movie, all he did was separate George and Harold, not expel them, cuz they were 9-10 years old!)

So yeah. George is cool, fun, and wacky, but he's lonely and eats lunch with the school principle.

That is...until he formally befriends Harold Hutchins and, reluctantly, Melvin Sneedly.

Thoughts on Ishan :

(and ict in general)

1. When he opted out of India's test squad before our series with S. Africa....I knew... I KNEW it will be a long time before we'll get to see him playing for India again.

And then few weeks later Rahul Dravid said in a press conference... He can come back... Just play domestic.... My heart sank.

Here's the thing, I don't blame him at all for taking a break due to mental fatigue.

I fully support his decision as well. He prioritised himself and that's good.

But my dude... If I was your friend, if I was there with you... I wouldn't have let you go.

I would have grabbed his trousers and refused to let go. This is team India. You take one step back and 10 other people are standing right behind you ready to take your place.

Shubhman gill was hyped up so much... Remember his 126 in 63 balls against New Zealand?

But he faltered.

And Today he's in reserve.

Jaiswal is going to be our new opener in all 3 formats very soon. And there's nothing wrong with that. The guy earned it.

Ishan left the South Africa Series and a month later during the india Vs England test Series Jurel was picked and he did an excellent job.

Now imagine... Imagine if Ishan was there instead... If ishan had scored those 90 runs.....he would have made his place permanent.

I'll repeat myself.... I don't blame him for leaving... But he should have thought this through. Especially when a guy like Rahul Dravid is your coach.

(he's the same guy who gave declaration during a test match when Sachin Tendulkar was about to score a century. He's not as innocent as he looks.)

Another thing which really hurts me is how so many people complain about him being benched and then dropped but Yaar....there are tons of players who have gone through this.

Even Ashwin was benched. He said in an interview that when his team would win he wouldn't even feel like going in the ground to congratulate them coz of how hurt he felt.

It happens.

.

.

.

Anyways My overall opinion on this drama is :

1. I support him for leaving.

2. But I hate that he left.

3. A block of ice would be a better coach than Rahul Dravid.

Anyways... Jo hogaya so hogaya.

What I want now is for him to focus on his future.

And He can start by leaving Mumbai Indians.

MI was the team who would pick young players, groom and invest in them and make them capable enough for team India.

The MI we have seen this year is no longer that team. It doesn't matter how many reels their insta page puts out, the atmosphere of that team is tense, awkward and a hot mess.

If Mumbai really cared about a future captain as they claimed.... They should have made Ishan their new captain...like how csk and gt did with ruturaj and gill.

But oh well.

Right now... The best he can do is keep himself fit, play domestic and leave MI at THE EARLIEST.

That team, it's atmosphere, the mismanagement and inner conflicts (believe me, they exist) will not help him at all.

Imo, he doesn't need a team to grow. He has developed a good skill set. What he needs now is a stage.

A team like Kkr, RR or Gt will be great for that because these teams don't drop Their players after 1 or 2 matches... Have good coaches, stable environment and a good atmosphere overall.

Ishan is an excellent wicket keeper + batsman and the type of cricket he plays is best suited for t20 format (one day and test also but especially t20).

Whether we win or lose this t20 world cup... This one is the last one for our senior players.

After that, our youngsters will take charge (at least they should).

Yashasvi and Abhishek should be our openers.

Gill, rutu and Riyan would perfect be for middle order.

Ishan, with his explosive batting style, would be the perfect finisher.

Also... This dumb culture of batters not learning bowling (encouraged by this stupid impact rule) that has developed in the Indian team needs to STOP.

Look at Australia and New Zealand's t20 squad. Look at how many all rounders they have.

Look at ours. We won the 2007 cup because of all rounders as well.

Also... We cage our players. We hold them back. A player like Travis head is playing with such ferocity because his style and mindset is supported by his captain, his team and his media.

Meanwhile... If an Indian player attempts to do the same and doesn't make a big score in 2 -3 matches... He'll be benched instantly.

Another thing... If we look up the stats of our players in this year's t20 wc squad...

Except virat, Bumrah and maybe kuldeep ...everyone else is on ram bharose.

When players like n. reddy, ishan, rutu, gill, Riyan, natrajan... will be groomed and given enough opportunities....their aggressive style will be supported instead of criticized.... that's when we will win trophies.

Underrated aspect of A Journey to Love is how the ensemble's perspective is being widened & complicated by their experiences. Intro talks about a war that just ended between An and Wu. An are assholes, going around kicking everyone's ass for $$

First the spy squad from Wu country just want to complete 1 stupid doomed mission, in order to clear their sworn brothers' names who fell in the final battle. No real agenda or deep thoughts besides this personal obligation and Employee Following Orders. Avengers assemble! Our FL Ren Ruyi is on the run and was a Scarlet Guard spy member from enemy country An who are holding the Wu emperor hostage... but the Wu spy chief ML does only a spot of mild torture and basically tolerates this secret because (a) he's determined to retire and (b) she is retired (c) her identity doesn't match any know big enemy of his spy org and the state. But he doesn't want her around.

... record scratch: He compromises. Ok. I do want her around. I won't get attached but ok, she's helpful. I'll even trust her to mentor the princess as we travel to rescue the Wu emperor.

She is only a tutor, though! Won't get her involved in his country's buisness.

Yet then she joins a battle and risks her life to save a bunch of theirs. Ok, ML widens his POV again. She can be their partner!

Everyone loves the mysterious friendly & feral assassin.

Then the squad finds out her identity and tries to kill her. His defense of her inclusion in the group has expanded: (a) her identity doesn't match any known enemy of his spy org and the Wu state, (b) she saved our lives, and crucially (c) she Isn't Born in An Country [isn't truly An] + (d) she was working at the command of her superiors just like we do, a cog in the war machine, and also only killed shitty members of our spy org we don't like

Ok. Now she's on the team. ML & FL are dating now and all the kids ship it. There is 1 (one) Scarlet Guard enemy county spy they accept and support.

But at the same time, she's begun to care about them in return. And we're really IN IT now.

Let's mentor the princess and throw shade on the Wu emperor, considering how our actions matter & how powerful people affect the average person. Caring for the citizens of Wu. They deserve better than their ruling class.

Being generally supportive & respectful of Ren Ruyi's love for the fallen An empress and RR's quest to avenge her.

The Wu delegation willing to (tentatively) ally with RR's former disciple, a marquis of An.

An marquis revealed to have gone against orders to respectfully bury the bodies of their Wu soldier friends, because in his view all loyal soliders deserve it.

The Wu delegation digging up the bodies of their dead friends, to give them a final send off, and mastering their grief to wrench it back from turning into hatred of the An people - focusing their rage and hate on selish & war hungry leaders, not the soliders and generals ordered to fight.

The focus of their resentment now turned to the right direction, expands their thinking & their plotting to have a consideratiom for all the residents of An and Wu, a care for humankind. An citizens are no longer the automatic enemy. ML tells the emperor of Wu to go fuck himself, directly to his face.

Caring about injustice done to some Scarlet Guards and wanting to save active !! "innocent" Scarlet Guard lives. (So far from the starting point! No background check to validate that X, Y, Z don't apply to these people. No rejection of the ML by the delegation or threats for daring to care about a random Scarlet Guard's life or death.) I sure hope the An emperor pays big for being bad at his job, but we gotta be careful about how we deal with him and not mess up An for the nice jewelry makers & brothel workers who live there.

IPL 2025 Mega Auction Dates and Venue Announced by BCCI

IPL 2025 Auction Likely to be Held in Riyadh on November 24-25: The Indian Premier League (IPL) auction has always been a much-anticipated event, drawing global attention as teams battle to build the best squads. For the 2025 season, the excitement has reached new heights, with reports suggesting that the mega auction will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 24 and 25. Although the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has yet to officially confirm the location, sources close to the matter indicate that Riyadh is the likely host city.

Franchise Retention Strategies and Key Highlights

All ten IPL franchises have submitted their retention lists, offering glimpses into their team-building approaches for the 2025 season. As teams retained their core players while releasing others, several prominent names have been added to the auction pool, increasing the competition and adding excitement for fans.

Retention Highlights Across Franchises

The franchises have retained 46 players, with a total investment of ₹558.5 crore. Notably, 36 of these players are Indian, including 10 uncapped Indian stars. Here’s a breakdown of major retention decisions:

Mumbai Indians – With five IPL titles, Mumbai Indians have built a strong Indian core by retaining key players like Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav. Tilak Varma, a promising young left-hander, also retained his place. Notably, Ishan Kishan, a talented youngster, was released, leaving MI with a ₹45 crore budget for the auction.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru – RCB has opted for a selective approach, retaining only three players: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Yash Dayal. Kohli commands the highest retention fee at ₹21 crore, giving RCB the second-largest auction purse of ₹83 crore.

Punjab Kings – Surprising many, Punjab Kings chose not to retain any capped players, focusing instead on young talent. They retained only two players, Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh, and hold the largest auction budget at ₹110.5 crore.

Rajasthan Royals – Rajasthan Royals solidified their batting lineup with strategic retentions, although they still seek an additional opener. With the smallest purse of ₹41 crore, RR enters the auction with a precise plan to strengthen its roster.

Chennai Super Kings – MS Dhoni will once again grace the IPL, retained by CSK as an uncapped player. CSK’s strategy combines experience with fresh talent, retaining Dhoni, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, and Matheesha Pathirana.

Top Players Entering the Auction Pool

With several renowned players left out of the retention lists, the 2025 auction pool includes high-caliber talent. Here’s a look at some of the notable players available for auction:

Released Indian Captains

The release of Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant has left three experienced Indian captains in the auction pool. Franchises seeking strong leadership may vie for these players, adding an extra layer of excitement to the auction.

England Players in the Auction

Interestingly, no England players were retained by any franchise this season. Major players like Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Harry Brook, Phil Salt, and Will Jacks will be up for grabs. Their release reflects teams’ concerns about availability, as these players missed parts of the season due to international commitments.

Young and Uncapped Talents

This year’s auction also features a number of unproven Indian talents, with ten uncapped players retained by various teams. These young players offer affordable options and the potential to evolve into match-winners, making them valuable assets in the auction.

Pat Cummins Credits Daniel Vettori’s ‘Masterstroke’ as SRH Secures Spot in IPL 2024 Final

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper Pat Cummins lauds coach Daniel Vettori for a game-changing decision that propelled the team into the IPL 2024 final. In a thrilling clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR), SRH’s spin duo, Shahbaz Ahmed and Abhishek Sharma, turned the tide in their favor, showcasing their prowess with both bat and ball.

The pivotal moment came when Shahbaz Ahmed, brought in as an impact player after the dismissal of Travis Head, delivered a standout performance. Cummins, speaking after the match, revealed that it was Vettori’s strategic choice to introduce Ahmed into the fray. The move paid dividends as Ahmed’s left-arm orthodox bowling proved instrumental in dismantling RR’s batting lineup, alongside Sharma’s commendable contribution.

SRH’s journey to the IPL final marks a significant achievement, particularly after their last triumph in 2016 under the leadership of David Warner. This year, they are set to face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a highly anticipated showdown at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Despite a previous defeat to KKR in Qualifier 1, Cummins and his squad are determined to seek redemption in the final encounter. The team’s strength lies not only in its batting prowess but also in the wealth of experience within its ranks, including stalwarts like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, and Jaydev Unadkat.

As the cricketing world eagerly awaits the IPL 2024 final, SRH stands poised to showcase their resilience and determination on the grand stage. With Vettori’s strategic acumen and the players’ unwavering commitment, the team aims to clinch the coveted trophy once again.

IPL 2024: SRH, RR Face-Off To Seal Final Date Against Kolkata Knight Riders

Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will lock horns against Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Qualifier 2 match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have already reached the final of the 17th season of the IPL, and whichever franchise wins today's match will lock horns against the Kolkata-based franchise at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.

The Hyderabad-based franchise is in their top form in the IPL 2024 and etched their name on the record book by breaching the highest team total in the IPL three times this season. Earlier, it was Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) 263/5 in the 2013 season which held the landmark of the highest team total in the history of the IPL.

With the likes of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathi in the top batting order, SRH have successfully entered the T20 tournament with an aggressive approach. They are the only side to score 100 or more runs in the powerplay this season.

The Rajasthan-based franchise started the season on a good note and kept a four-match winning streak two times in the tournament. However, as time passed and we came into the second half of the IPL 2024, the Royals started to maintain their consistency. In May, RR's first win came in the Eliminator round when they beat RCB to book their place in the Qualifier 2 match.

The Royals don't have a destructive batting lineup as compared to the Sunrisers but they have a fiery bowling attack with the likes of Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal, Nandre Burger, and Ravichandran Ashwin.

The Qualifier 2 match will be an interesting clash as the best bowling attack will take on a destructive batting lineup to book their place in the final match of the IPL 2024.

Hyderabad finished the league stage of the T20 tournament in second place with 17 points and a net run rate of +0.414 after winning 8 of 14 matches. While the Rajasthan concluded their league matches in third place with 17 points and a net run rate of +0.273 after winning 8 of 14 matches.

The Royals are coming into today's match after beating RCB by four wickets in the Eliminator round of the IPL

2024. On the other hand, SRH conceded an 8-wicket loss against KKR in the Qualifier 1 match of the tournament.

Rajasthan Royals Squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Sanju Samson (Wk/C), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Rovman Powell, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shimron Hetmyer, Nandre Burger, Shubham Dubey, Tanush Kotian, Donovan Ferreira, Navdeep Saini, Keshav Maharaj, Kuldeep Sen, Abid Mushtaq, Kunal Singh Rathore.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Squad: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (Wk), Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins (C), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, T Natarajan, Sanvir Singh, Umran Malik, Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Agarwal, Aiden Markram, Anmolpreet Singh, Upendra Yadav, Mayank Markande, Jhatavedh Subramanyan, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Marco Jansen, Akash Maharaj Singh.

Unraveling the Latest IPL Points Table: A Rollercoaster Ride of Cricket Drama

As the cricket frenzy grips the nation once again, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season has been nothing short of exhilarating. With each match packed with electrifying moments, unexpected twists, and breathtaking performances, fans have been on the edge of their seats, eagerly following their favorite teams' journey through the tournament.

Amidst this whirlwind of cricketing action, keeping track of the IPL points table has become imperative for fans to gauge their team's standing in the competition. So, let's dive into the latest IPL points table and dissect the highs and lows of the teams as they battle it out for supremacy.

Mumbai Indians: Reigning Champions Facing Challenges

The Mumbai Indians, led by the charismatic Rohit Sharma, are known for their resilience and ability to bounce back from adversity. However, the current season has posed some challenges for the defending champions. With a mix of wins and losses, they find themselves in the middle of the points table, striving to regain their momentum and secure a spot in the playoffs.

Chennai Super Kings: A Resurgent Force

Under the leadership of the legendary MS Dhoni, the Chennai Super Kings have staged a remarkable comeback this season. After a disappointing outing in the previous edition, they have roared back to form, displaying their trademark consistency and tenacity. With stellar performances from both seasoned veterans and promising youngsters, CSK sits comfortably at the top of the points table, sending a clear message to their rivals.

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Riding the Wave of Momentum

Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore have been a force to be reckoned with this season. Bolstered by a formidable lineup and a renewed sense of purpose, RCB has delivered one thrilling performance after another, propelling themselves to the upper echelons of the points table. With Kohli's leadership and the firepower of players like AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell, RCB looks poised for a deep run in the tournament.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Inconsistent Form

The Kolkata Knight Riders have experienced a rollercoaster ride in the IPL 2024 season. Despite flashes of brilliance, they have struggled to find consistency, oscillating between impressive victories and disappointing defeats. With the likes of Shubman Gill and Andre Russell in their ranks, KKR possesses the talent to turn their fortunes around and make a late surge in the points table.

Rajasthan Royals: A Team in Transition

The Rajasthan Royals find themselves in a rebuilding phase this season, as they seek to redefine their identity and chart a new course for success. With a young squad and a new captain in Sanju Samson, RR has shown glimpses of promise but has faltered at crucial junctures. As they navigate through this transitional period, the Royals will look to unearth hidden gems and lay the foundation for a brighter future.

Delhi Capitals: Navigating Through Challenges

The Delhi Capitals, led by the dynamic Rishabh Pant, have encountered their fair share of challenges this season. Despite possessing a talented roster capable of match-winning performances, they have struggled to find their rhythm consistently. With the race for playoff berths heating up, DC will need to regroup and rediscover their winning formula to climb up the points table.

Punjab Kings: Aiming for Redemption

The Punjab Kings find themselves in familiar territory, striving to break free from the mid-table clutter and make a statement in the IPL. With the explosive talents of KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran, PBKS has shown glimpses of brilliance but has been plagued by inconsistency.

Rajasthan Royals (RR), after reaching the Indian Premier League (IPL) final in 2022, faced a setback in the 2023 season, finishing fifth on the points table and consequently missing out on the playoffs.Despite this outcome, the 2008 champions have shown confidence in their existing squad by retaining 17 players. Many of these players were part of the squad that secured the runners-up position in 2022. Given the valuable experience in the squad, RR will avoid the pain of a substantial rebuilding effort, unlike most other teams in the league. The side led by Sanju Samson will have to focus on getting the balance of the squad right if they have to compete for the title this season.Ahead of the IPL 2024 auction, to be held on December 19 in Dubai, RR opted to release players who failed to have a significant impact in the previous season. The list comprises former England captain Joe Root, West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder and Windies pacer Obed McCoy. Additionally, the released Indian players are KC Cariappa, Murugan Ashwin, Abdul Basith, Akash Vashisht, KM Asif and Kuldeep Yadav.The Royals traded batter Devdutt Padikkal for pacer Avesh Khan from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). This move appeared to have strengthened RR's bowling attack.RR's retained players list for IPL 2024:Sanju Samson (c & wk),Jos ButtlerShimron HetmyerYashasvi JaiswalDhruv JurelRiyan ParagDonovan FerreiraKunal RathoreRavichandran AshwinKuldeep SenNavdeep SainiPrasidh KrishnaSandeep SharmaTrent BoultYuzvendra ChahalAdam ZampaAvesh Khan (traded from LSG)Following the release and retention of the players, RR now have a remaining purse of Rs 14.5 crore to bolster their squad when the franchises convene in Dubai on December 19. This remaining amount provides ample flexibility for the Rajasthan-based team to strategically acquire impactful players for their roster.As per the IPL regulations, each team can have a maximum of 25 players in the squad, with a provision for eight overseas players. The impending auction raises a pivotal question for Sanju Samson and the RR management: which players will they target to fill the available slots, including the three designated for overseas recruits?RR's strategy for IPL 2024 auctionWith the inclusion of Avesh Khan, RR's bowling unit appears to be well-balanced. Alongside Avesh, the team has the likes of New Zealand pacer Trent Boult and Indian bowlers Prasidh Krishna, Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Sen and Sandeep Sharma. In the spin department, RR features an experienced ensemble, including Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal and Australia's World Cup-winning leggie Adam Zampa.In the upcoming auction, RR might look to acquire an all-rounder to reinforce squad depth. New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham will be a potential option for RR in this category. The Kiwi player is listed at a base price of Rs 1.5 crore. Given RR's robust contingent of Indian bowlers, opting for an overseas player in Neesham could provide the team with additional strength in batting and bring variety to their bowling attack.Should Rajasthan Royals (RR) target an Indian all-rounder in the upcoming auction, two compelling options that align with their requirements are Harshal Patel and Shardul Thakur. Renowned for their match-winning capabilities, both players possess the skill to excel in the death-overs. Mumbai's Shardul Thakur, in particular, has demonstrated the ability to deliver impactful batting when the situation demands. Meanwhile, Harshal Patel is widely regarded as one of the premier death-over bowlers in India. Priced at a base of Rs 2 crore, the addition of either Harshal Patel or Shardul Thakur could significantly enhance the RR squad.Following the release of Devdutt Padikkal, RR could explore the option of acquiring a batter in the upcoming auction. New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra emerges as a potential target for RR. The southpaw showcased his batting prowess by amassing 578 runs in 10 matches, emerging as the leading run-scorer for New Zealand in the recently concluded ODI World Cup 2023. The young batter also brings the added dimension of left-arm spin to the table, contributing to the team's bowling depth. With a base price of Rs 50 lakh, Rachin Ravindra presents an appealing prospect for RR in terms of both batting proficiency and economic value.Another potential target for the middle-order batting slot is New Zealander Daryl Mitchell. He exhibited exceptional form in the ODI World Cup 2023, playing a crucial role in New Zealand's journey to the semi-finals. The right-handed batter scored 552 runs in 10 matches. With a base price of Rs 1 crore, Daryl Mitchell stands out as a definite target for RR in the upcoming auction.Topics mentioned in this article
