Shakib Al Hasan, Liton Das, and Mustafizur Rahman, three Tiger cricket players, will get their first chance to play in an Indian Premier League (IPL) event. Mustafiz is staying with the team he used to play for. And on Friday (December 23), Shakib and Liton won the team at a mini-auction in Kochi, India.
Shakib Al Hasan got a team in the IPL again after one season. This time, Liton Das, another batter, joined him. Both were bought by the West Bengal team Kolkata Knight Riders at their base prices (KKR). At first, no one bought them, but at the last minute, Shah Rukh Khan’s team bought them both. LKD will be the sixth cricketer from Bangladesh to play in the IPL.
Since Friday morning, Bangladeshi cricket players have been waiting for the auction to start. But no one bought because they were mad at the beginning. Shakib-Litton-Afif-Taskin was not interesting to anyone. But in the end, things went a different way. Again, Liton Das called. This time, KKR paid his base price of 50 lakh rupees to add him to the team. LKD got the chance to play in the Indian Premier League because he was the sixth cricketer from Bangladesh.
Fans of cricket in Bangladesh no longer have to be sad. In the second call, the KKR said they were interested in the best all-around player in the world. They paid him a base price of one and a half crore rupees to join their team. Delhi Capitals had already signed Mustafiz.
The most money was paid for England all-rounder Sam Curran at this year’s mini auction. The battle between Mumbai and Royal Challengers began after the 24-year-old cricket player went up for auction. After that, he also competed in Chennai and Punjab. Later, Punjab Kings paid 18.5 crore rupee to buy this English cricketer. This is the highest price ever paid in an IPL match.
