These 5 players who had cheated their team in the last season, yet became rich in the mega auction – Shreyas Iyer Nihal Wadhera Harry Brook Abhinav Manohar flopped in IPL 2024 yet a huge amount paid in mega auction
Even after being a flop, bids worth crores were placed on Maxwell
The Indian Premier League 2024 was very bad for Australia’s explosive all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. Maxwell, who played for RCB last season, was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 4.20 crore. Apart from Punjab, Sunrisers and CSK had also bid for Maxwell. Talking about his performance in the last season, he was able to score only 52 runs in 10 matches for RCB at an average of 5.78. However, despite this, his getting Rs 4.20 crore in the auction is quite surprising.
Shreyas Iyer becomes the second most expensive Indian player
Shreyas Iyer, who captained Kolkata Knight Riders last season, has also been bought by the Punjab Kings team. For Iyer, Punjab Kings bought him by bidding Rs 26.75 crores. Iyer became the second most expensive selling player in IPL history. Talking about his performance last season, he was able to score only 351 runs in 14 matches, which included two fifties. Despite this, there was a competition among the teams to buy Shreyas Iyer.
Sunrisers made Abhinav Manohar rich
Abhinav Manohar, who played for Gujarat Titans last season, has been bought by Sunrisers team for Rs 3.20 crore. Abhinav’s base price was only Rs 30 lakh. Talking about Abhinav’s performance in the last season, he got a chance to play in only 2 matches, but he could not capitalize on this opportunity. Abhinav could score only 9 runs in the last season, but then Sunrisers made him rich.
Harry Brook also made bumper earnings in the auction
England’s star player Harry Brook has also made bumper earnings in the IPL mega auction. Harry Brook took the field for Sunrisers Hyderabad last season.
