The South African speedster Kagiso Rabada enters the auction with a base price of Rs 2 crore, and it doesnt take long for the action to heat up. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) open the bidding, but Gujarat Titans (GT) quickly join the fray.
The numbers climb rapidly, breaching Rs 3 crore and then Rs 5 crore. Thats when Mumbai Indians (MI) enter the picture, raising the stakes to Rs 5.25 crore. Determined to secure Rabada, MI bid aggressively, pushing the price up to Rs 8.25 crore.
Just when it seems like MI are in control, RCB come roaring back with a bid of Rs 8.50 crore, reigniting the battle for one of the finest pacers in world cricket.
Sold to Titans for Rs 10.75 Cr!
