In more than a decade-long career of IPL, many stories from rags to riches have surfaced. IPL 2021 isn’t any different as some new faces went price-burdened while the others who were already present in the circuit took more likings to the franchises in the IPL Auctions of 2021.

3) IPL 2021: Chetan Sakariya
IPL 2021 Team- Rajasthan Royals
IPL 2021 Salary- Rs.1.2 Cr
The 22-years left-arm fast bowler who represents Saurashtra in Ranji Trophy is yet another example of “Never Give up on Your Dreams”. His family who has mostly lived in the state of penury will be turned around after their wonder kid bagged an IPL contract in the nascent stages of his career. Due to the financial crunches in his family, he was initially prompted to focus on his studies but the pacer knew that his train is yet to leave the station. He pursued his passion of playing cricket and it only happened in the year 2017-18 that he earned his place in Saurashtra’s Ranji trophy team. Since then, he has played 15 First-Class, 7 List-A, and 16 T20 matches. With his demonstrated potential, he did become a part of the Royal family in 2021 in a Royal style.

2) IPL 2021: Shah Rukh Khan
IPL 2021 Team- Punjab Kings
IPL 2021 Salary- Rs.5.25 Cr
Fetching a bid in IPL is different while fetching a bid that is more than 2600 times your base price is something different. Such was the evening and the experience of this young right-handed batsman hailing from Tamil Nadu during the IPL Auctions of 2021. Shah Rukh Khan had an outstanding season of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy just before the Auctions which probably changed the fortunes for him in a short span of few minutes when the franchises were raising the bids for him for his services. But it was Pretty Zinta’s refurbished Punjab Kings which finally outbid all the other tables and signed the aggressive batsman.

1) IPL 2021: Krishnappa Gowtham
IPL 2021 Team- Chennai Super Kings
IPL 2021 Salary- Rs.9.25 Cr
Another player from the Southern region of India, Karnataka, was the highlight of the IPL Auctions of 2021. The Chennai Super Kings went all in for the All-Rounder and with the other few franchises chipping in, Krishnappa Gowtham became the most expensive uncapped Indian player in the history of IPL. Although he first made his entry to the league in 2017 with Mumbai Indians but couldn’t get a game there. It was only starting from 2018 that the all-rounder started accentuating and made some notable performances.
With his sharp Off-Spinners, he is an effective bowler in crunch situations and can also hit the long ball. Overall his services with both bat and ball are noteworthy. In IPL 2021, he will be seen donning the yellow jersey while playing under the best of the best, MS Dhoni.
Overall in the IPL, he has 186 runs from 24 matches but 15 of those games came in 2018 where he smashed 126 runs at a strike rate of 196.87.
