Indian team leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal had been playing IPL for Royal Challengers Bangalore ie RCB for a long time. In such a situation, it is believed that the RCB franchise will retain him before the mega auction of IPL 2022, but it did not happen. Royal Challengers Bangalore ie RCB retained Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Mohammad Siraj. Even RCB’s most successful bowler Yuzvendra Chahal was not even asked by the franchise whether he would be retained or not.
Yuzvendra Chahal has now revealed that during the retention he was not even asked by RCB whether he would retain me or not. He has said that money is secondary to him. The surprising thing was that Rajasthan Royals had bought him for Rs 6.50 crore after fighting in the auction from Mumbai Indians. RCB did not even place the opening bid for Grandmaster Chahal, who sent his name to the auction table with a base price of 2 crores. Yuzvendra Chahal is saddened by this.
31-year-old leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal while talking to TOI said, “RCB didn’t even ask me if I wanted to be retained or didn’t tell me whether they wanted to retain me or not. If I was asked, I would Would have said yes, because for me money is secondary and RCB first. I love RCB a lot.” However, he also mentioned that after being ignored by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the auction and bought by Rajasthan Royals, Virat had said that you are still royal.
