New Delhi: Cricketing stars were bought at astronomical amounts in IPL Auction 2018. While England all-rounder Ben Stokes became the most-expensive player to be bought at the auction table, 26-year-old Jaydev Unadkat topped the list of costliest Indian. Little known off-spinner from Karnataka Krishnappa Gowtham broke all the records by going for a whopping Rs 6.2 Crores, which was 31-times his base price.
But the extravaganza, which concluded on Sunday, was not all about money-spending. There were many funny moments in between the tense auction. Along with the bidding war, franchise members were also active and interactive on social media. The exciting moments gave fodder for entertainment and humour.
Co-owner Preity Zinta and mentor Virender Sehwag of Kings XI Punjab in particular were most animated among the lot. Former explosive batsman Sehwag who is been well known for his humour took on his own franchise and trolled them on twitter.
