00:00Every auction is different, but this was different in particular ways.
00:04It's a great experience. I think, you know, I didn't know what to expect.
00:08I thought I would have been more nervous.
00:16My name wasn't there and no one to bid for me.
00:19I was able to stay calm, but all in all it was a successful event.
00:24Great experience, you know, sitting next to Venky especially.
00:28We started planning while I was in Trinidad.
00:31And I think, you know, we come with a proper plan.
00:34A plan that, you know, there are certain players we want to target
00:37that will be able to facilitate the six players we retain.
00:42You know, and I think getting Venky was one of the main goals for us.
00:48As you can see, we went all out for him.
00:50And, you know, it's good that a championship winning team,
00:54you're able to get basically 90% of your players back.
00:58That in itself is a positive stat.
01:02I think the way the retention rules were set up,
01:05the RTM rules, the salary caps, and marquee sets,
01:12two-day auction, big auction, you know, definitely this was different.
01:15This was more demanding, I thought, you know, and quite nerve-wracking
01:19because of all these nuances to the whole thing.
01:24So it's important to keep your core,
01:26because when you have to start from scratch and build a team,
01:29combinations and all these things can be complicated.
01:34Roman Powell, obviously, because of our involvement with CPL,
01:39we have seen him for many years.
01:41And the year we picked him is when he had had a really good CPL.
01:45And then over the years we have seen him,
01:48what he has done in CPL and other leagues, and of course IPL as well.
01:52So, terrific cricketer.
01:55And just now highly experienced.
01:58Leads the West Indies, and you know, that leadership experience,
02:02captaincy, what he has done, all of that put together
02:06makes it really, really special.
02:08No doubt, it's great to have him in this squad.
02:13He's a speed star, Umran Malik.
02:16Siddharth guy, I always admire him.
02:19His pace, his work ethic, his energy.
02:21And I'm happy that we were able to nail him down.
02:25It's always encouraged by the fact that you had a format that succeeded.
02:30Not just because of the championship.
02:32Obviously, that was the icing on the cake.
02:35But that structure worked for us.
02:37So, I think the think tank's unanimous view was
02:41we should try and maintain that structure,
02:44which we have successfully done.
02:46I think in certain areas, I think we have also improved.
02:50And upgraded, if you can use that word.
02:53So, let's see.
02:54Hopefully, it will continue to work well in the 2025 season.
02:58And see where we go from there.
