After being out of the national team setup for over two years, Bhuvneshwar Kumar attracted significant interest from IPL franchises. On Monday, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) acquired his services for ₹10.75 crore.
The second day of the mega auction proved lucrative for several Indian pacers. However, some prominent names remained unsold, including Shardul Thakur, Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane, Kane Williamson, and Glenn Phillips.
Approaching his 35th birthday before the next IPL season, Bhuvneshwar Kumar boasts an outstanding record of 300 wickets in 287 T20 matches, with an economy rate of under eight.
Among other significant deals, the Mumbai Indians acquired Deepak Chahar for ₹9.25 crore despite concerns over his injury history.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals used the RTM card to retain Mukesh Kumar for ₹8 crore. The Lucknow Super Giants also made a substantial investment, securing Test pacer Akash Deep for ₹8 crore.
Among the all-rounders, Krunal Pandya was picked by RCB for ₹5.75 crore as they sought an experienced spin-bowling all-rounder. Rajasthan Royals made notable acquisitions, securing Tushar Deshpande for ₹6.50 crore and Nitish Rana for ₹4.20 crore.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals signed former RCB skipper Faf du Plessis at a base price of ₹2 crore, a bargain deal. The Gujarat Titans strengthened their lineup by acquiring Washington Sundar for ₹3.20 crore.
The limited availability of quality Indian seam-bowling all-rounders played to the advantage of South Africa’s Marco Jansen, who was signed by Punjab Kings for ₹7 crore. The auction highlighted the immense demand for Indian talent, with even fringe players earning lucrative deals despite the limited pool of options.
