From big bucks being spent on fast bowlers, all-rounders to batsmen either fetching base price or going unsold, the auction room witnessed a field day
The auction for the Indian Premier League (IPL) came to an end as 57 players were picked from the pool of 298 players before the extravaganza starts in the month of April. Total 130 names went under the hammer, out of which 73 players remained unsold.
From breaking the record of being the most expensive player in the history of the auction to one of the captains of an international side not finding any takers, the 2021 IPL player auction saw it all. While the bowlers and the all-rounders were in huge demand, the batsmen had an off day, either they went for their base prices or were not even picked.
Chris Morris went for a record bid of INR 16.25 crores as the Rajasthan Royals grabbed the South African all-rounder, breaking the record held by India's Yuvraj Singh when he was bought by Delhi Daredevils in 2015. While players like Aaron Finch, Alex Hales couldn't find bidders. Uncapped players like Krishnappa Gowtham and Riley Meredith made merry while experienced players like Kedar Jadhav and Harbhajan Singh too found the takers in the wee hours of the auction.
