Former Australia all-rounder and current Delhi Capitals assistant coach Shane Watson has slammed Mumbai Indians for spending over Rs 15 crore on Ishan Kishan in the IPL 2022 auction, saying the talented opener was 바카라˜not worth blowing nearly your whole salary on바카라™.

Watson also criticised Mumbai Indians for buying injured Jofra Archer for a huge sum. Winless so far in five matches, MI has been struggling to put together a winning combination after they spent Rs 15.25 crore to get Ishan and Rs 8 crore to buy Jofra Archer, who is still recovering from elbow surgery.

The five-time champions had retained Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and Kieron Pollard. 바카라œIt hasn't surprised me that Mumbai Indians are at the bottom of the table because they had a shocking auction,바카라 Watson said during a conversation in 'The Grade Cricketer' podcast. 

바카라œSpending so much money on Ishan Kishan...He is a very talented and skillful player, but he's not worth blowing nearly your whole salary on. And then, going for Jofra Archer, not knowing whether he is going to come back in. He hasn바카라™t played cricket for quite a while. They have got quite a few holes in the team,바카라 added the former opener.  

Defending champions Chennai Super Kings too endured four losses before opening their account with a 23-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore. 바카라œThe biggest issue with CSK, now that I have seen their five games, is that they have got a hole, especially with their fast bowling,바카라 Watson, who has played for CSK in the IPL, said.

바카라œIn the previous years, they had Shardul Thakur. Deepak Chahar is injured. They paid a lot for him at the auction, but he is (likely to be) unavailable for a lot of the tournament, which is a big hole.

바카라œThey don't have a quality overseas quick like Josh Hazlewood. Earlier, they always had a world-class overseas quick bowler. That's why they are struggling,바카라 added Watson.
