India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan grew to become the most costly signing of IPL 2022 public sale thus far after Mumbai Indians purchased him for Rs 15.25 crore in its first acquisition on Saturday.
Kishan can be at the moment the second-most costly Indian signing within the historical past of IPL auctions, after Yuvraj Singh, who was roped in by Delhi Daredevils for Rs 16 crore forward of IPL 2015. The 15.25-crore price ticket makes him the fourth most costly signing within the historical past of the league total.
Mumbai Indians was concerned in an intense bidding warfare with Sunrisers Hyderabad, Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings which result in a meteoric rise in Kishan’s shares.
This was the primary time Mumbai Indians bid greater than Rs 10 crore for a participant on the auctions. Earlier than this, Rohit Sharma was the franchise’s greatest signing on the auctions, having paid Rs 9.2 crore for him forward of IPL 2011. Kishan had earlier been launched by Mumbai forward of the 2022 mega public sale.
In IPL 2020, Kishan hit 30 sixes, essentially the most in that version. Final IPL, Kishan hammered 84 off 32 balls in Mumbai’s final group sport towards the Sunrisers Hyderabad. His innings was studded with 11 fours and 4 sixes. Kishan was signed in 2018 by Mumbai Indians for Rs 6.4 crore, and he made his worldwide debut in 2021 towards England.
