KSCA T20: Abhinav Manohar, Mayank Agarwal, Padikkal costliest buys in player auction
The HinduAbhinav Manohar, Mayank Agarwal, and Devdutt Padikkal walked away with the big bucks, bought by Shivamogga Lions, Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters, and Gulbarga Mystics for ₹15 lakh, ₹14 lakh, and ₹13 lakh, respectively, in the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 auction held at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday. Mayank and Padikkal are proven India internationals and IPL stars, with the latter even part of the victorious Mystics squad that won the trophy last year. All-rounder Manoj Bhandage, who was part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore set-up in 2023 but didn’t get a game, was sold to the Warriors for a princely sum of ₹9 lakh. Though a top-draw cricketer and an India international, Prasidh has not played a competitive game since August 2022 because of a stress fracture.
