Best XI in IPL 2020 Auction cheaper than Pat Cummins' 15.5 crore price tag
There were 61 other players bought as well in this year's auction which included 33 Indian players and 28 overseas players apart from Cummins.
7. Deepak Hooda (50 lakh)
Deepak Hooda is one of those cricketers who has come up the ranks through Under-19 cricket. He was a part of India’s Under-19 World Cup team for the 2014 mega event. In fact, Hooda did well too as he was India’s second-highest run-scorer with 235 runs at an average of 78.33.
Moreover, he made an impact straight away in the IPL. He donned the finisher’s role in the Rajasthan Royals (RR) side in the 2015 season. But with RR not a part of the IPL till 2018, Hooda moved to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). However, it hasn’t been smooth sailing since then.
While he does have a good T20 career strike-rate of 135.20, his IPL record barring that 2015 season isn’t great. However, Hooda has the ability to tonk the ball a long way. Moreover, he is excellent in the field and can don the finisher’s role.
