5 strong players, who were sold cheaply in IPL mega auction, must be beating their heads, the teams got silver – glenn maxwell mitchell marsh aiden markram like player who sold cheaply in ipl mega auction benefited teams
Mitchell Marsh bid less than expected
There was a hype about Australia cricket team’s star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh that he could get a big bid in the mega auction. Last season, Marsh was a part of the Delhi Capitals team, but the franchise did not retain him. In such a situation, when Marsh’s name came up in the mega auction, everyone had high hopes but it was dashed. Actually, Marsh was bought by Lucknow Supergiants team for just Rs 3.40 crore. The Sunrisers team had also bid for something for Marsh, but after that they backed out.
Glenn Maxwell did not get the price
T20 cricket’s destructive batsman Glenn Maxwell has suffered a huge loss in the IPL mega auction. Last season, Maxwell received Rs 11 crore from RCB, but the franchise did not retain him this time. Maxwell has always been getting huge amount in auction, but this time he got only 4.20 crores. Maxwell was bought by Punjab Kings team. In such a situation, this Australian all-rounder had to suffer a huge loss.
Aiden Markram sold at base price
There was hope about Aiden Markram, an experienced South African player and captain for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, that teams could make a good investment on him. Markram is a strong middle order player, but when his name came up in the auction, no team showed interest in him except Lucknow Supergiants. Lucknow Supergiants team bought him for the base price of only Rs 2 crores.
Sameer Rizvi suffered huge loss
Sameer Rizvi, who was sold for Rs 8.40 crore in the Indian Premier League 2024, suffered a huge loss in the mega auction. Sameer Rizvi had a stellar performance in the UP T20 League. In such a situation, there was hope that once again the franchise could spend a huge amount on him, but it did not happen. Sameer Rizvi was bought by Delhi Capitals for just Rs 95 lakh. This is the same Sameer Rizvi for whom Delhi Capitals had bid Rs 8 crores last season.
Rachin Ravindra also did not get the right price
New Zealand’s emerging player Rachin Ravindra also did not get the right price in the mega auction. Rachin Ravindra was RTMed by Chennai Super Kings for Rs 4 crore. Punjab Kings team tried very hard in the auction for Rachin and was almost successful, but CSK took him back through RTM. Of course, Rachin got good money this season from last season, but more could have been said about him.
