Will Shahrukh Khan become the most expensive uncapped player to be bought in an #IPLAuction?

 Shahrukh Khan, the enormous hitting Tamil Nadu hitter, has conceded that he will have an eye on the impending IPL sell off in Bengaluru, even as he has been named one of India's backups for the T20I leg of the forthcoming home series against West Indies.

"Obviously, it [thoughts about the auction] is there some place to me, however I won't allow it to influence my arrangements for the following day," Shahrukh, who is right now going through compulsory quarantine, told ESPNcricinfo. He was drafted into Punjab Kings' crew for INR 5.25 crore in front of IPL 2021, and however his chances with the group were restricted, he has constructed an enormous standing in homegrown cricket.

That was obvious during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy last against Karnataka last November, where he pummeled an unbeaten 15-ball 33 to win his group the title, close the last with a six the last ball. Shahrukh, who says his whole family was partaking in their supper when insight about his choice for the West Indies T20Is was uncovered, feels he would need to play a comparative style of cricket whenever picked for India during the series.

"Playing for India is an enormous obligation in itself, and carries with it its own tension," Shahrukh said. "There are a few gigantic names in this group, and I have grown up watching them on TV. My point - assuming I find the opportunity - is essentially go with a receptive outlook and partake in my cricket, simply the manner in which I accomplish for Tamil Nadu.

"On the off chance that I overthink this, I would simply make additional tension on myself and stray from my normal game. My point in each game is to go out to the center and play unreservedly, without stressing a lot over the outcomes and zeroing in on the cycle all things being equal."

Shahrukh and his Tamil Nadu partner R Sai Kishore have both joined the India crew in front of the T20Is, and are relied upon to be among the conspicuous names among uncapped Indian players who could be sought after during the bartering in Bengaluru which will highlight two new establishments for the 2022 season. In any case, Shahrukh isn't excessively whined with regards to the amount of an expansion he could get to see from his base value, set at INR 40 lakh in front of the bartering.

"It relies upon which set you are in, which are the names that have been raised in front of you, what explicit things are groups searching for by then, and what their accessible handbag is," he said. "Rather than stressing over such things, I am simply centered around how I can keep my brain new and focus on my cricket."
