Here's Shahrukh Khan, who raked in big money

TN mates in squad: We've got 4 Chennai boys and great to be a part of that squad because of the way they've played last 2 years.

TNPL Purple cap holder: 100% can bowl. Got my bowling going in the TNPL and that helps here to. Definitely want to chip in with the ball if given the opportunity.

His role in GT after Hardik is out: I'll be playing at No. 6 or 7 for sure. The way I look at it, I'm ready for anything. I've batted at No. 4 in tournaments in Chennai. The way Gujarat Titans have made their players comfortable, I'm very happy to go there.

Batting alongside Miller: I've been a big fan of him for the past 10 years. He's the guy who comes in big games. He's the guy who wins big games. To be playing alongside him I'm looking forward to lot more. The way he's calm under pressure and the way he's played for SA and GT.

RCB's Mo Bobat on Alzarri Joseph: So look, we're delighted to have Alzarri. From our perspective, he was in our top three targets from an overseas pace bowling perspective. You're always trying to navigate through the auction order, which makes things slightly tricky. And ideally, in an ideal world, we'd like probably for Starc to come out earlier and we can have a good crack at him and then, and then move on to, you know, your next target. But from our perspective, we looked at what was left with the other team's finances and that's a tough call for us and we made a good judgment call, I think, to bring forward our interest in Alzarri and to have a good go at him. He's a player that we really like. Now with Alzarri, he's both high pace, he's got a high release point, so he gets bounce. We know bounce is important at the Chinnaswamy. He's also got fantastic death skills. You look at his record and he stacks up against anyone at the death. He's also someone that's playing regular international cricket all around the world and franchise cricket all around the world. So he's someone that can adapt to conditions and surfaces. So we're pretty happy with Alzarri in that sense. And he's someone also that the captain knows really well. So Faf and him have a really good relationship and they've got a real trusted dynamic between them. So for us, it ticks a lot of boxes.

On Yash Dayal: With Yash Dayal, obviously, a slightly different pick in that sense that he's a domestic player that's had some experiences. We like the left-arm angle. We like the fact that he moves the ball up front. We want to make sure we've got the right battery of bowlers domestically that can supplement the likes of Alzarri. Obviously, we've got Cameron Green as well. So we think we've got a really nice balanced attack with real variety and we wanna make sure that we have got variety whenever we step out in the field from a pace bowling perspective. So we've got enough bounce, we've got enough pace. we've got Siraj who's a champion, swing bowler up front, and we've got a left-arm angle. So it's just putting together our arsenal to take on the opposition.
