IPL Auction 2022: Punjab Kings head coach Anil Kumble says auction dynamics were 'different and challenging'

Firstpost  

Bengaluru: Punjab Kings head coach Anil Kumble is extremely satisfied with the new players, including Liam Livingstone and Odean Smith, coming to his franchise during the IPL auction, the dynamics of which were “very different and challenging”. England batter Livingstone fetched a staggering Rs 11.50 crore deal from Punjab Kings, who also roped in West Indies fast bowler Smith for Rs 6 crore on the second day of the IPL mega auction on Sunday. “Some of the players, especially the Indian fast bowlers, I am really happy for them, there has been a lot of demand for them and it is wonderful that they have been well rewarded for all their efforts.” The first session’s highlight was Livingstone, who hit the million dollar plus mark with five teams bidding for him at one point of time. On Smith, Kumble said, “He has showcased his power, bowling skills and also his batting skills and we saw that on display against India here in the one-dayers, so we have been tracking the players for a while and we are very glad that someone like Odean as an all-rounder for us we have been able to secure.” Delhi Capitals assistant coach Pravin Amre said that the franchise is pleased with their buys.
