Jofra Archer will play for Mumbai Indians in the 2023 IPL, with the pacer still not recovering from the elbow injury.
Former India cricketer turned commentator Sanjay Manjrekar on Sunday has said that Punjab Kings paying Rs 11.50 crore to Liam Livingstone is a bit of a gamble.
There were a total of 11 players who went for over Rs 10 crore in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.
The IPL accelerated auction began at the end of all the rounds of regular auction action and led to some frantic buying.
A bidding war erupted between Archer's former team RR and MI to sign the pacer, but RR pulled out after the bid reached Rs. 6.25 crore.
Aside from James Neesham and Chris Jordan all the all-rounders in the second lot were picked up in the IPL auction.
Livingstone got the highest bid in the opening session of the auction as the likes of James Neesham and Eoin Morgan remained unsold.
The second day of the IPL auction ahead of the 2022 season got off to quite a slow start as only three players were picked from the first lot.
The uncapped players in the IPL 2022 mega auction made a pretty penny, even though a quite a few of them missed out on a deal altogether.
The eighth lot of players in the IPL auction were all-rounders who had not earned international caps. And there was plenty of money spent by the franchises.
