Vivo IPL 2020 Auction: Cummins fetches record Rs 15.50 crore bid
PTI, Dec 20, 2019, 9:53 AM IST
Kolkata: Pat Cummins became the most expensive foreign buy ever in the Indian Premier League (IPL) players’ auction here on Thursday when two-time former champions Kolkata Knight Riders shelled out a whopping Rs 15.50 crore for the lead Australian pacer.
It was also a hefty payday for Cummins’ Australian teammate Glenn Maxwell, who returned to Kings XI Punjab with a price tag of Rs 10.75 crore after an intense bidding war with Delhi Capitals. KXIP went into the auction with the biggest available purse of Rs 42.70 crore.
Teams going all out for Cummins were on expected lines as he has been in top form with the ball and at times has also proved his worth with the bat.
Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore were engaged in an intense bidding war for the Australian before KKR joined the battle at Rs 15 crore and eventually outbid the two franchises. Cummins has taken 32 wickets in 25 IPL matches so far with an economy of just over 6.
With the price he fetched, Cummins broke the record for the most expensive foreign buy held by Ben Stokes. England’s all-rounder Stokes was bought by Rising Pune Supergiant for Rs 14.5 crore in the 2017 auction. It also marks Cummin’s return to KKR. The pacer has also played for Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals.
Both Maxwell and Cummins had opted out of last year’s IPL.
Another big buy at the auction was South African Chris Morris, who was sold for Rs 10 crore to Royal Challengers Bangalore. West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell, with a base price of Rs 50 lakh, fetched a winning bid of Rs 8.50 crore from Kings XI Punjab.
