Aakash Chopra picks six big players who could be drafted by new IPL teams before mega auction - IN PICS

"Shreyas is likely to become captain of the Ahmedabad franchise. He is an important player and will be drafted to a new team. I won't be surprised to see him lead Ahmedabad as he has already captained Delhi Capitals," said Chopra. (Source: Twitter)

"Rashid Khan is second in the pecking order. I don't think his name will reach the auction table. He did not want to stay at SunRisers Hyderabad as he has been already approached by a new franchise with a better salary," Chopra said. (Source: Twitter)

"I feel KL Rahul will not be able reach the auction. Punjab Kings wanted to retain him but he didn't want to. I think he is going to Lucknow, and will become the captain of the new team," said Chopra. (Source: Twitter)

Aakash Chopra said that Ishan Kishan's stocks are a bit high at the moment. So he may not really show up at the auctions and will be signed by two of the teams. (Source: Twitter)

"David Warner will not make it to the auction either. He is a proven match-winner. He has a lot of experience, has won a lot of games, and has scored 600 odds runs in so many seasons. You won't find a more consistent player than him," Aakash said. (Source: Twitter)

"Yuzvendra Chahal is another player who might go to Ahmedabad," said Chopra. Chahal has been stellar performer for RCB over the last six years and his non-retention surprised everyone. (Source: Twitter)
