“We don’t know what it was. And had requested if we could refrain from bidding for him or using Right to Match. We said, ‘listen we will never come in the progress of anyone or anyone’s aspirations’. It is a new challenge he wanted. Sorry to see him go. Seven great years. I think he will be fantastic for Delhi,”
