IPL 2023: Performance of most expensive buy of each team
In the competition, some players were expected to be extraordinary as they had become the record buys in the history of the league.
3. Rajasthan Royals (RR)- Jason Holder (INR 5.75 Crore)
Jason Holder is a renowned name in international cricket for his all-round talent. In the cash-rich league too, fans are familiar with his name as the former West Indies captain has played for successful franchises such as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the past.
Considering his experience, Rajasthan Royals (RR) believed in him for the 2023 season and splurged INR 5.75 crore at the 2023 IPL auction held in Kochi. In return, Holder racked up only four wickets in eight innings of eight matches, at a horrendous economy of 9.96. Along with the ball, he also looked miser with his bat, contributing only 12 runs in three innings.
In the 42nd match, RR handed Holder the task to defend 17 runs in the decisive last over against Tim David and Tilak Varma of Mumbai Indians (MI). For the 31-year-old, it was the best opportunity to come out as a hero, but the veteran again disappointed his team’s fans with three full-toss deliveries that David smacked among spectators to clinch a six-wicket victory for Mumbai.
