<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Hundred franchise Southern Braves picked the likes of Adil Rashid<\/a>, Marcus Stoinis<\/a>, Tristan Stubbs and Thomas Rew forming a composition that includes young and experienced players alike. After the auction, team’s coach Hemang Badani<\/a> explained the tricky task of manoeuvring a cricket auction. Badani emphasised that discipline and patience are crucial during an auction, particularly in a fast-moving process where plans can quickly unravel. <\/p>\n EXCLUSIVE: Rahul Dravid on iconic Eden Gardens win against Australia in 2001<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe major thing about auctions is that you need to be disciplined and stick to your plan,\u201d he said. \u201cEven when you feel the auction isn\u2019t going in the direction you wanted, you still have to be patient and adapt quickly. The minute you start panicking, things can go wrong.\u201dAccording to the former India all-rounder, no franchise walks away with every target.\u201cYou\u2019re never going to get all the players you\u2019re looking for,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you manage to secure about 70\u201375 percent of the players or the skill sets you wanted, you\u2019ll be happy.\u201dSouthern Braves brought back a familiar name in Chris Jordan, a long-time favourite at the Utilita Bowl, the team\u2019s home venue.\u201cWe genuinely believe he has massive value for us,\u201d Badani said. \u201cHe\u2019s someone who has been at the Braves, done well here and understands the conditions.\u201dThe franchise also made a forward-looking pick by signing England U-19 cricketer Thomas Rew, whose performances at youth level caught the coach\u2019s eye.\u201cI saw him live during the Under-19 World Cup and I thought he batted beautifully,\u201d Badani said. \u201cHe strikes the ball well and we believe he\u2019s someone for the future.\u201dAnother addition is David Miller, whom Badani has previously worked with at Delhi Capitals. While the prior association helped, Badani said the decision was primarily tactical.\u201cWe were looking for a left-hander who could finish games and play spin well in the middle and at the end,\u201d he explained. \u201cTo get someone like Miller at the price we did was a steal.\u201d<\/p>\n
