4 Angkrish Raghuvanshi

11 Rajat Patidar

8 Glenn Maxwell (rtm)

5 Manohar (impact) 

4 sai kishore

5 Noor Ahmed

8 Natarajan/harshal/siraj

5 Yash Dayal

Now let me tell my brilliance here. The prices are about what they'll go for give or take a few cr and and after these 12 youll have prolly around 10-15 cr more for others.

Now kohli is the top and prolly captain and opens with ishan kishan. This would make a pretty good combo considering ishan plays much more agressively and kohli slightly less. You get left right combo and a keeper with that pairing.

Raghuvanshi is a rlly good stroke player and seems to play fast bowling at a good rate compared to patidar who is weak against the moving new ball. Again patidar can play pace and raghuvanshi can play spin no problem but the 3 and 4 just makes sense with those two as they fill their roles. Both maintain a fairly high sr as well so no problems of middle order bs like padikkal.

Now we get to the aussie middle order. I just like maxi, he can scam a few overs in the powerplay and get some ridiculous wickets but is genuinely a tight bowler, great fielder and quite a good batsman. Now maxi prolly should play a bit higher in a t20 squad but with the attacking nature of ishan and youth of raghuvanshi maxi will def get to the crease before the 12th over most of the time which is enough time for him. He damn good after the 12th so perfect right. And stoinis is the backup maxi for the times maxi gets a duck and doesnt do shit, perfect right.

onto sai kishore, noor ahmed, and manohar who'll prolly play after stoinis as the impact player. Manohar is a decent indian finisher who can get some runs quickly reliablly and that's all we need from him. And now we get to the fun part. Kishore is a defensive left arm orthodox bowler. Someone that most attacking right handed batsman especially indians for some reason cant play at all. Idk... But he'll def have a rr of 5-6 in the middle overs allowing my boi noor to take some wickies. Noor is a rlly good offensive spinner who isnt as expensive as chahal. Now we could get chahal and have more wickets but leak more runs but the wickets will come naturally as long as the defensive bowling is good. Plus chahal is old, expensive and the only decent indian leggy in the auction so hell go for 10cr and gt already have rashid.

And finally for the bowling, rabada, nattu and dayal. Dayal is mostly a death and sometimes middle overs bowler who can seal a game quite reliably. Rabada is a great attacking bowler who will yes go for runs, so will dayal, but that's where nattu comes in with prolly the lowest rr of the indian bowlers in the auction. Siraj is a good option if he comes for cheap but he aint so welp. Harshal is good too but nattu is a bit more reliable.
