Irfan Pathan names the franchise which might go for Rachin Ravindra
Talking about Sunrisers Hyderabad, Path🔯an noted the strong all-round pe🔥rformances from Washington Sundar and Marco Jansen but emphasized the importance of a backup o⭕pener for the side. He suggested that haviℱng Rachin in the playing XI could provide valuable support in both batting and spin-bowling departments, making him a crucial target for the team in the upcoming IPL auction.
“If they have two all-rounders going really well as far as batting is concerned in Washington Sundar and Marco Jansen, they can actually play with the playing XI. A backup opener is very, very crucial for them and that is why they need to go after Rachin Ravindra big time,” Pathan sa𝄹id while reviewing the IPL auction on Star Spo𒅌rts.

‘They need a bit more than that’ : Irfan Pathan
Pathan further emphasized Sunrisers’ need for a reliable wicket-taking spinner in their squad. He pointed out the absence of Adil Rashid, mentioned that despite having Mayank Markande, the team requires add🍰itional strength in the spin-bowling department.
“Ideally, they would like to have a proper spinner who is a wicket-taker. They had Adil Rashid, they don’t have his services now. Obviously, they have Mayank Markande but they need a bit more than that,” the 39-year-old added.
