Why not say "hired" or "contracted"? Also,to sell something you have to own it. BCCI doesnt own these cricketers,they employ them.

I6MTW Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 All the sides look decent on paper. Even KKR looks okay now with the last minute buys. I wonder how the schedule would be? Each team plays the other twice? One home, one away? 18 games per side? Chakdephatte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a speculation in media but sounds good. Edited February 13, 2022 by Chakdephatte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charu agreed as he couldn't say no to him plus he has been auctioneering in local circuits for a long time. The fact that he did it with no prior notice and still conducted the auction smoothly speaks volumes of the man. Gr8 Job Charu That what good contact does for you.

rageaddict Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Did I read it correct somewhere that Shreyas Iyer went for 12 Crores ? Is that true ? Kya majak hai, a batsman that isn't good enough to be part of playing 11 going for more than 10+ Crores. Don't think any players even best of the best were getting 8 crore 9 crore 10 crore during the first few editions of the IPL, now so many teams are throwing big money on even mediocre players.

Can't agree. He can fit in most elevens. But he cannot be the first or second choice player of any team. Comparing with early few seasons is not right, IPL was not that big. Not sure what purse teams got then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
