After the innings, India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said that Conway's innings came "four days late" indicating that it may have made a difference at the auction.

 

"Not sure it matters @ashwinravi99 NZ players have continually been overlooked for second rate Australians in the IPL for years. Seems outside of IPL big bash is the only comp looked at.. #player #NZcricket," tweeted Doull, a former New Zealand fast bowler, in reply to Ashwin, saying that performances in Australia's Big Bash League seems to be a bigger parameter for IPL teams for judging international players.

 

Doull then further explained his view. "Just some context. I did not mention any names so stop trolling. Since IPL started 94 Aussies at combined 886 Crore. 31 NZ players 212 Crore. Both countries have 6 first class teams and both have domestic T20 comps. It's more about timing and viewing of BBL. #balance #scouting," Simon Doull tweeted.
