I Want To Have That Chance Of Playing In IPL, Says Swastik Chikara Ahead Of Mega Auction
“I was at home then. Everyone was watching the auction together, while my brother saw it on the phone. So, he got to know a few minutes before others that I have been selected by the Delhi Capitals,” said Chikara, now 19, in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Thursday. “He was very happy, while my mother started crying, as it was such a big thing for me to be selected in the IPL for the first time. That day, everyone was very happy," he said.
Chikara, who didn’t get to play in 2024 and was released by his IPL franchise, hopes that 2025 will be the year he debuts in the tournament. “I am a little nervous this time. But I just want to play IPL this year, that’s my mindset. I want to have the opportunity to play matches this year. I attended the trials of Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. But I was not able to go to other teams' trials, as I was playing in Ranji Trophy and U23 matches for Uttar Pradesh,” he stated.
