IPL 2023: Indian Premier League In the (IPL) 2023 auction, defending champions Gujarat Titans bought players very cleverly. New Zealand’s star batsman Kane Williamson has been bought by Gujarat for his base price of Rs 2 crore. Team head coach Ashish Nehra is very happy to have Williamson in his team and he is looking forward to the Kiwi batsman playing continuously next season. Let us know how Nehra has reacted to the auction.

In an interview given to the sports star of the English newspaper The Hindu, Ashish Nehra said, “Ken Williamson has a lot of experience and has proved his class. In the last few seasons, he had trouble due to elbow problem, but T20 is such a fast game that one has to think differently. We are quite happy to have them at the base price as we were ready to pay more to get them. We are seeing Williamson batting at number three.,

Responding to the mini auction, Nehra said, “First you have to see how much funds you have and then you are not going to get every first choice player on the auction table. We knew from the beginning that we couldn’t go for Cameron Green or Sam Curran because they are going to be auctioned big. We are very happy to fill our vacancies.

What did Nehra say on Hardik’s batting order?

On the change in Hardik’s batting order with the arrival of Williamson, Nehra said, “Last season, Hardik batted at number 3 only once. Even after Williamson comes at number three, Hardik will continue to play at number four. We will take a final decision on this when the tournament comes closer, but I don’t think Hardik will bat down the order. I don’t think there is such a thing as a finisher. If you are set then you are expected to finish the match.
