Srinagar: South Africa cricketer Rilee Rossouw has predicted a bidding war for him during upcoming IPL players auction.
Rilee Rossouw is currently representing the Delhi Bulls in Abu Dhabi T10 and there was a two-way battle between the Delhi Capitals and the Rajasthan Royals for Rilee Rossouw in last year’s IPL auction. It was the Capitals who prevailed.
“Don’t have a particular thing in mind. I think Delhi Capitals was really good to me last year. We had a solid camaraderie around the team. But in saying that, I did well with the Knights team in the American League. So it would be nice if it would be a little bit of a bidding war. I mean, that would be ideal for myself,” Rossouw was quoted by Hindustan Times.
Rossouw represented the Los Angeles Knight Riders in the inaugural edition of the Major League Cricket.
“Like at the end of the day, doesn’t matter who I play for. I want to do well for whichever franchise I’m picked,” he said.
When asked to differentiate IPL from the other leagues of the world, Rossouw said that everything in the league happens at a large scale.
“I think IPL does everything on a bigger canvas. Everything’s bigger and better there as they say. It’s just glamorous from the outside. They spend so much money on marketing, in getting the fans in which is fantastic to see as a player. The fans love their cricket. So it’s fantastic to see that and how it’s been consistent over what’s it been like 20 years (16) of it. So it is probably one of the best leagues,” he added.
