deepak emandiIPL AUCTION: Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar headline day 1 of the IPL auction
Avesh Khan became the most expensive uncapped player in the history of IPL auction as he was sold for Rs 10 crore to Lucknow Super Giants. Ishan Kishan was the biggest earner of the auction so far as Mumbai Indians paid a whopping Rs 15.25 crore to keep him.
Teams continued the trend of retaining their past players as the Chennai Super Kings broke the bank for fast bowler Deepak Chahar who was sold for 14 crores. The Kolkota Knight Riders snapped up Shreyas Iyer for a whopping 12.25 crores and might have found their captain in the former Delhi captain as well.
The evening session saw IPL teams splurge astronomical amounts to get their hands on uncapped players. Shahrukh Khan was in huge demand as predicted and was sold for Rs 9 crore to the Punjab Kings from a base price of Rs 40 lakh. Gujarat Titans paid the same amount to buy Rahul Tewatia, who had two successful seasons with the Rajasthan Royals.
Rahul Tripathi, who represented KKR last season, was bought for Rs 8.5 crores by the Sunrisers Hyderabad. KKR retained fast bowler Shivam Mavi by paying Rs 7.25 crore, while SRH paid Rs 4 crore to get paceman Kartik Tyagi. South Africa's U19 World Cup star Dewald Brevis was bought for Rs 3 crore by Mumbai Indians while little known Karnataka batter Abhinav Sadarangani was bought for Rs 2.6 crore by Gujarat Titans.
Rajasthan Royals paid Rs 10 crore to bag young India paceman Prasidh Krishna whose price might have gone up considering his efforts in the last ODI against the West Indies. Lockie Ferguson had a huge payday unexpectedly as the Gujarat Titans paid 10 crores for the services of the New Zealander.
West Indian Nicholas Pooran was bought for Rs 10.75 crore by Sunrisers Hyderabad. Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga went for Rs 10.75 crore as RCB splurged the same amount on him and last season's purple cap winner Harshal Patel. Shardul Thakur was also bought for the same amount by Delhi Capitals.
Sunrisers Hyderabad snapped up Washington Sundar for Rs 8.75 crore, while Lucknow Super Giants paid Rs 8.25 crore for the services of Krunal Pandya. The Punjab Kings hired the services of Shikar Dhawan for 8.25 crores along with Kagiso Rabada for 9.25 crores in the early exchanges.
Kolkata Knight Riders also bid big for Pat Cummins and Nitish Rana. Pacers Josh Hazlewood and Mark Wood were bought by RCB and Lucknow respectively. Jason Holder was snapped up by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 8.75 crore, who also bought Quinton de Kock.
The Chennai Super Kings tried to get the band back together as they retained Dwayne Bravo, Robin Uthappa and Ambati Rayudu. Rajasthan Royals were also in action as they bought West Indies' Shimron Hetmyer for Rs 8.5 crore and opener Devdutt Padikkal for Rs 7.75 crore. Delhi Capitals probably got the bargain of the auction as they swooped for David Warner for just Rs 6.25 crore. Yuzvendra Chahal was bought for Rs 6.50 crore by Rajasthan Royals.
