As the Rupee depreciated a lot since the last Auction, will they adjust the rates for all the players bought in the last Auction.

That's why they conduct auctions in crores now. Rupee depreciation doesn't matter, it's the same number of crores

Scored a 15 ball 50 today, 73(22) against Rajasthan

He'll come back in the auction later. Teams obviously want to see the result of big trades like Green and Venky before they reassess their purse for Sarfaraz

[Vk1]

Salil Arora going by SMAT should be a mandatory pick

[Tillu]

De kock for 1 CR is an absolute steal.

Will the players agree to it as the Rupee seems to be a volatile currency over the years.

That's not the IPL board's concern. They are promised certain crores contractually and they'll be paid that much. Hypothetically, if rupee appreciates and 1 USD = INR 50, they wouldn't suddenly get a pay cut either.  The contract would likely have a clause on currency fluctuations

DC doing well.

 

But Pant will screw this side badly.

Because currencies seem to fluctuate only one way and never seen them appreciate significantly.

True

18 cr for Pathirana. He was such a flop last year 

[Tillu]

18cr to Pathirana is a life changing amount of money.

 

Rashid Khan bagging 18 cr per year for over a decade must be one of the richest persons in Afghanistan.
