1. Ishan Kishan (Base Price- 2 Cr INR, Selling Price- 15.25 Cr INR)
Ishan Kishan is known for his attacking batting attitude. With a strike rate of 136.33 in his Indian T20 League career, he is a perfect option to have at the top of the order to take the counter attack to the opposition at the very beginning of an innings.
Ishan Kishan not being retained by the Mumbai franchise raised a few eyebrows. But it was as if Mumbai was just waiting for him throughout the first day of the auction. The owner from Mumbai was never seen lowering his paddle during the bidding war for the explosive wicketkeeper-batter.
Punjab, Gujarat and Hyderabad tried to outbid Mumbai but nothing could deter the fuve-time champions. Mumbai ultimately secured Ishan Kishan for INR 15.25 crore, a price about 7.5 times his base price.
