In the first season with the team, Manohar played some swashbuckling innings, and contributed to the team winning its first title. After this, the next year when the team finished runner-up, they also performed well. However, the year 2024 IPL was nothing special for him. This season he got to play only two matches for GT. So now that the mega auction for IPL 2025 is round the corner, and the teams have to submit the list of retained and released players to BCCI before October 31. Meanwhile, Abhinav Manohar has expressed his desire to play in IPL for RCB. Abhinav Manohar gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Wisden, Abhinav Manohar said – Being a Bangalore boy, it would be good to play for RCB. In the last few years, I came to Bengaluru to play some matches on behalf of GT. But I didn’t get a chance to play, and I really wish I would have played, because I think I know this wicket well, and it’s a batting track. It would be any batsman’s dream to play in Bangalore in IPL, because it is very easy to hit a six here, the ground is quite small. Abhinav Manohar further said- I think it would be great to play for my home team also. Let’s see. I mean, the dynamics of the auction are very strange, and you don’t know which team you’re going to. So, I’m just hoping that I get a chance to go to a team that I can play for, that’s all.
