 "Rajasthan Royals bags Chris Morris for record Rs 16.25 crore in IPL auction 2020 players' auction.")
Chris Morris surpassed Yuvraj Singh to become the most expensive buy in the IPL auction history with Rajasthan Royals shelling out Rs 16.25 crore for his services after a bidding war.
The players’ auction for the 14th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) was concluded in Chennai on Thursday with Mumbai Indians bagging Arjun Tendulkar for his base price of Rs 20 Lakh. South African all-rounder Chris Morris surpassed Yuvraj Singh to become the most expensive buy in the IPL auction history with Rajasthan Royals shelling out Rs 16.25 crore for his services after a bidding war.
Punjab Kings, earlier known as Kings XIP Punjab, has maximum available purse followed by Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. While Kolkata Knight Riders (KK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have minimum available purse going into the auction.
Morris' big pay day came after another all-rounder, Australian Glenn Maxwell, once again managed to attract a bid price of Rs 14.25 crore bid from Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Punjab Kings, who went into the auction with the maximum purse among eight teams, paid Rs 14 crore to rope in Australian pacer Jhye Richardson hoping he will plug the gap in its leaking bowling department.
The 24-year-old, who has played two Tests, 13 ODIs and nine T20Is for Australia, was the leading wicket-taker in the recent Big Bash League.
Morris, who came with a base price of Rs 75 lakh, generated bids from four teams before it became a battle between Royals and Punjab Kings.
Royals eventually sealed it with a record bid which made Morris the costliest buy at the auction ever, surpassing Yuvraj Singh, who was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 16 crore in 2015.
The costliest player in the IPL remains Virat Kohli, retained for Rs 17 crore by Royal Challengers Bangalore.
In 70 IPL games, Morris has scored 551 runs at 23.95 and taken 80 wickets at 23.98.
