IPL 2018: Five players who have been worth the big bucks
This time around, in IPL 2018, a staggering amount of INR 431.4 crores was invested in the purchase of players by the eight participating franchises.
3. Shane Watson
The RCB management would be surely cursing their luck after witnessing Shane Watson’s batting carnage in IPL 2018. Another non-retained player of the RCB, Watson was picked up by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for INR 4 crores, at four times his base price. Many doubted this decision considering Watson happens to be on the wrong side of 30 years age line. But Watson wielded his bat like a magic wand to silence all the sceptics and emerge as one of the highest run-getters in the league thus far.
In the 7 matches that he’s played so far, Watson has accrues 203 runs at a healthy average of 157.36. He’s currently sitting at the top of the highest run-getters list in this season of the IPL, owing to his sensational knock against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) worth 106 runs off 57 deliveries, consisting of 9 boundaries and 6 maximums. He’s also proved to be a value-for-money player with 6 wickets and best figures of 2/29 to show for his bowling efforts.
