IPL 2018: Players who were sold at more than 10 times their base price

2. Krunal Pandya | MI | INR 8.8 crores | Base Price: INR 40 Lakhs | 22 times

Krunal Pandya is another player who has made it huge in the auction. He is a very well known figure in the Indian cricketing circles. Krunal is the elder brother of Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya. A shoulder surgery in 2015 meant that Krunal had virtually not played a competitive game for almost a year, but that did not stop Mumbai Indians for putting in a strong bid of Rs. 2 crores. He didn’t let Mumbai Indians down and had some spectacular performances in the IPL. He is considered a limited-overs specialist and is highly capable of clearing the fence.

Krunal bats left-handed and is a slow left-arm orthodox bowler. In 2017, Krunal scored 243 runs and picked 10 wickets in 13 matches.  The Mumbai Indians had no hesitations in getting him back into the team. They used their RTM card for Krunal in the auction uniting the Pandya brothers in the Mumbai setup once again. Krunal can hit the ball big and is also very handy with the ball. He is one of the best finds for the Mumbai Indians. He was sold at a massive ₹8.8 crore, 22 times his base price.
