Shreyas Iyer becomes most expensive IPL buy at Rs 26.75 crore, goes to Punjab Kings

New Indian Express  

JEDDAH: India batter Shreyas Iyer became the most expensive player in the history of IPL as Punjab Kings broke the bank to buy him for Rs 26.75 crore in the tournament's mega auction here on Sunday. Iyer surpassed the record held by Australian pacer Mitchell Starc, who was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 24.75 crore in the last auction. Among others, Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh's consistency earned him a massive bid of Rs 18 crore, also from Punjab Kings via the Right to Match card, while South African speedster Kagiso Rabada was bought for Rs 10.75 crore by Gujarat Titans. Chennai Super Kings started with the first bid for Arshdeep, whose base price was also Rs two crore.
