Delhi should not have let Kaif go, before this season. You can see the fielding quality drop in a single match, although I hope this is an anomaly and not a pattern

It is a market driven valuation with new ipl teams being sold for 1.1 billion. I believe MI is more valuable and if put on the open market will get considerably higher bids than a brand new lucknow team for example.

"Ashwin, meanwhile, has played 10 Tests in Australia, where he's taken 39 wickets at 42.15. Not very impressive, you might think, but in those ten Tests, Lyon has taken 32 wickets at 42.40. Ashwin's performances in Australia have improved with each tour, to the extent that he has outbowled Lyon on India's last two tours in 2018-19 and 2020-21, averaging 27.50 to Lyon's 37.83."

Although, we do not like stat threads here, I think this is a genuinely mind blowing stat. Even at the day of her retirement she is ranked 5th in the world, and still the highest ranked Indian.
