Ishan Kishan, Jofra Archer poor picks, says Shane Watson

Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson, who is also Delhi Capitals’ assistant coach, thinks Mumbai Indians erred in the auction by splurging on Ishan Kishan (Rs 15.25 crore) and Jofra Archer (Rs 8 crore).

“It hasn’t surprised me that Mumbai Indians are at the bottom of the table because they had a shocking auction,” Watson said during a conversation on ‘The Grade Cricketer’ podcast.

“Spending so much money on Ishan Kishan... He is a very talented player, but he’s not worth blowing nearly your whole salary on. Then, going for Jofra Archer, not knowing whether he is going to come back in... They have got quite a few holes.”
