  • The final bid of Morris topped the record of Yuvraj Singh (Rs. 16 crore by DC in 2015).

    The likes of Kyle Jamieson (Rs. 15 crore) and Glenn Maxwell (Rs. 14.25 crore) too attracted massive bids. The duo was sold to RCB.

    Meanwhile, Australian fast bowler Jhye Richardson turned out to be the fourth-most expensive signing (sold to Punjab Kings for Rs. 14 crore).

    Maxwell crosses Rs. 10 crore-mark for the second time

  • Maxwell had kept his base price Rs. 2 crore. However, he was sold for a whopping Rs. 14.25 crore following an intense bidding war. He had earlier fetched prices of Rs. 6 crore (PK, 2014), Rs. 9 crore (DC, 2018), Rs. 10.75 crore (PK, 2020).

  • Gowtham

    Highest-earning uncapped player in IPL auction history

  • Karnataka all-rounder K Gowtham claimed the highest-ever price by an uncapped player after Chennai Super Kings acquired him for Rs. 9.25 crore.

    An effective off-spinner and explosive lower-order batsman, Gowtham, will certainly strengthen the spin department of CSK for the impending season.

    Meanwhile, India all-rounder Shivam Dube, who was released by RCB after a lacklustre season in 2020, was signed by the Rajasthan Royals for Rs. 4.4 crores.
