Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
In the IPL 2023 auction that is currently taking place in Kochi on Friday, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) purchased Tamil Nadu batter Narayan Jagadeesan for INR 90 lakh.
KKR made the initial offer. After paying Rs 20 lakh for his base, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) wanted their local boy back.
The Tamil Nadu batsman was purchased by KKR for INR 90 lakh, despite the fact that the bid was close to one crore.
Narayan Jagadeesan beat Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara last month to become the List A cricketer with the most consecutive centuries.
During his team’s match against Arunachal Pradesh at the current Vijay Hazare Trophy.
India’s top-level 50-over domestic competition, the batter set this record.
In the match, he raised his fifth-back to back hundred in the competition.
He also has more consecutive tons in a single season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy than Virat Kohli,
Prithvi Shaw, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Devdutt Padikkal, who all have four centuries.
Yash Thakur was recruited by LSG at a cost of 45 INR Lakh
Yash Thakur, a Vidarbha bowler, did well in the 2022 SMAT by taking 15 wickets in 10 matches at an economy rate of 7.17 and with best bowling figures of 4/22.
He took the sixth most wickets during the tournament and plays at a medium pace.
He made his Rundown A presentation in 2017 and FC debut in 2018 and T20 debut in 2019.
Vaibhav Arora, a swing bowler, on the other hand, requested bids from 20 lahks.
The bidding was opened by KKR. The bidding was then joined by Lucknow Super Giants.
Vaibhav has the ability to swing the ball both ways at a rapid pace.
KKR and LSG attempted to outbid one another. He was eventually sold to KKR for 60 lahks.
When Chennai Super Kings (CSK) released their wicketkeeper-batsman Narayan Jagadeesan, 26, last month, the Tamil Nadu cricketer almost lost hope of participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
He had no hope of being selected by any team. However, by offering Rs 90 lakh for Jagadeesan.
His childhood coach Chandrakant Pandit, now the head coach of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), gave Jagadeesan a new lease on life.
CSK’s agadeesan scored 40 runs in two 2022 IPL matches
I don’t care how much it is. I had no hope of being selected by any team, so I was just looking forward to a good season.
I wasn’t thinking much about the IPL after CSK let me go and I won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, scoring 118 runs in six games, Jagadeesan said Friday afternoon from Coimbatore.
He responded, “Because I came out on top in the Vijay Hazare Trophy with 830 runs, including five consecutive tons,” when asked why.
Yes, that is accurate, but prior to that, my goal was not to play IPL.
My goal was to continue putting in a lot of effort each day without expecting anything in return.
Scores followed me after that, and this [KKR deal] happened.
I am extremely content, and I believe that the process alone assisted me.
