10 cricketers who turned millionaires overnight due to IPL
In the last 15 years, IPL has strengthened a lot of players financially.
3. Kyle Jamieson in 2021
Kyle Jamieson made his T20 International (T20I) debut for New Zealand in 2020. Playing three matches in the tournament, he looked disciplined with the ball and fetched three wickets in four games at an economy of 7.75. Jamieson’s decent performance in New Zealand colours attracted RCB at the 2021 auction.
At the business event, Challengers raised their bidding paddle for Jamieson and ended up buying the pacer for a massive amount of INR 15 crore. Following the lucrative deal, the lanky pacer became the apple of the media’s eyes. In the competition, Challengers were expecting Jamieson to play his part exceptionally with the ball.
However, Jamieson emerged as a disappointment as he could scalp only nine wickets in nine matches at a horrendous economy of 9.60. As Jamieson failed to perform according to his price tag, RCB fans came heavily on their team management, criticizing their decision of buying the Kiwi bowler at a hefty price.
