The price in IPL history became a new record in the 2021 auction. The most surprising thing is if a player with a base price of Rs 65 lakh was sold for Rs 16 crore 75 lakh! Surprisingly, Rajasthan Royals did just that. They sat down with a bag of money to buy the South African SUV Chris Morris. Morris became the most expensive player in IPL history.
At last year’s auction, Kolkata Knight Riders led Pat Cummins to the team with a new record average. They bought the Australian fast launcher for 15 million rupees. Although Cummins had a base price of Rs 2 crore. But Morris’s call started from just 75 lakh rupees. Almost every franchise has shown interest in doing this, as it is effective at low-order stormy-hitting rhythm bowling. However, the kings of Rajasthan and Punjab have fought the most. In the end, Rajasthan made Proteas an all-rounder at home by setting a new record.
Yuvraj Singh was the most expensive player in the IPL auction. In 2015, Delhi Capitals spent Rs 16 crore to buy this SUV.
The initial bet in the fight to get Morris was from the Mumbai Indians. Later he joined Royal Challengers Bangalore. The price rose rapidly from 2 million rupees to 5 million rupees. But Rajasthan was not on this stage at all. When the price reached 10 million rupees, the Rajasthan ‘game’ began. After Mumbai withdrew, Punjab began fighting them. In the end, Rajasthan bought Maurice by labeling him the most expensive cricketer in IPL history.
But the ‘demand’ for the Proteas SUV will be such that no one thought about the details before the auction. The 33-year-old off-roader did nothing to hit last season despite hitting well in the Bangalore jersey. Despite being the most successful bowler in Bangalore with 11 wickets in 9 games, he scored just 34 runs with the bat.
Maurice has prior experience playing in Rajasthan jerseys. In 2015 he was in the tent of this franchise. However, he has spent most of his time in Delhi Capitals. From 2016 to 2019 he was in the runner-up of the last event.
Although it seemed to be at the beginning of the auction, Glenn Maxwell’s ‘bid’ would be at the center of all discussions. Because, the fight to get the Australian SUV was frozen. Bangalore bought it from the base price of Rs 2 crore for Rs 14 crore 25 lakh. However, the light later passed from him to Morris.
Meanwhile, the new management of Steven Smith led by Rajasthan last season is Delhi Capitals. Delhi has hired him for Rs 2 crore 20 lakh. Chennai Super Kings has taken Moin Ali for Rs 6 crore. However, Jason Roy, Alex Hales and Aaron Finch were not sold.
