The IPL 2021 auctions broke quite a few records when it came to bidding as the franchises didn’t hold back and splurged to get hold of their top T20 stars.
Twitter was abuzz as Chris Morris and Glenn Maxwell fetched the big money contracts once again alongside Indian uncapped stars K. Gowtham and Shahrukh Khan who made merry on Thursday.

Mi always smart at the auction. They got quality fast bowlers as well as Getting Piyush Chawla at reasonable price will fuel good spin department which I thinking was needed. #IPL2021Auction

Inexplicable as the auctions are, can RCB’s
I see a lot of you shocked about the price at which the players are going at! Let me break it down. It’s resources (money) which is plenty, supply (good players, very limited) and the demand (role gaps in teams) which is non negotiable. And it’s a 1-year investment. #IPLAuction
