Sanjiv Goenka’s statement on buying Rohit Sharma for Rs 50 crore
Every team would be ready to buy a great player like Rohit Sharma, but everyone was surprised by the news of buying him for a staggering amount of Rs 50 crore. Where did the news of buying Rohit Sharma for such a huge amount come from in the media and what is the truth behind this? Lucknow Supergiants owner Sanjeev Goenka has openly revealed this. Sanjeev Goenka has revealed the truth behind the news of buying Rohit Sharma for Rs 50 crore in which he has termed this as a mere rumour.
Sanjeev Goenka said, no one can bet 50 percent of the money on a player
Amidst the talks of buying Rohit Sharma for Rs 50 crore, Lucknow Supergiants owner Sanjiv Goenka said in an interview with Sports Tak that, “You tell me one thing, do you or anybody else know whether Rohit Sharma is coming to the auction or not? All these speculations are baseless. Whether Mumbai Indians will release Rohit Sharma or not, whether he is coming to the auction or not, even if he comes, you are going to use 50 per cent of your salary cap on one player, then how will you manage the remaining 22 players?”
Every team wants to get Rohit, but not everyone gets him – Sanjiv Goenka
When Sanjiv Goenka was then questioned about his desire to include Rohit Sharma in his team, the LSG team owner said, “Everyone has their wish list. You want the best players, the best captain in your team. It’s not about wishing. It’s about what you have and what you have. What you can do with it. That’s the thing. I can wish for anybody but the same applies to all franchises. You won’t get everybody.”
