Venkatesh Iyer, KKR’s new highest-priced player, surpassed superstars like Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, showcasing his importance in the team setup. His consistent performance, including 370 runs at a strike rate of over 158 in the last season, justified the bid.
Rishabh Pant's move to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for INR 27 crore underlined his value in the cricketing world, thanks to his dynamic play and leadership. Meanwhile, Punjab Kings made a statement by acquiring Shreyas Iyer for INR 26.75 crore, potentially signaling a turnaround in their IPL journey.
Spinners Yuzvendra Chahal (INR 18 crore by PBKS) and R Ashwin (INR 9.75 crore by CSK) commanded high bids due to the scarcity of quality spin options. As auction dynamics evolve, teams like Punjab Kings could finally break their underachiever tag this season.
