Having been retained for 17 crores, Kohli became the most expensive player in the history of the IPL. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni were retained for 15 crores each. This makes their combined worth as a whopping 47 crores.
We’ve made a team which is very handsome and cheaper than the combined worth of these 3. Here’s our team
Openers
Colin Munro : 1.9 crores
Gautam Gambhir: 2.8 crores (c)
Now, while Gautam Gambhir is the most successful IPL captain after Rohit Sharma, he’s the captain of this team too. Colin Munro is the only batsman with T20I hundreds and has a crazy strike rate. Gambhir on the other hand carries a lot of IPL experience and is a smart batsman.
Middle Order
One Down: Yuvraj Singh: 2 Crores
Two Down: AB De Villiers: 11 crores
Three Down: Quinton De Kock (Wk) : 2.8 crores
Fourth Down: Manoj Tiwary: 1 crore
When you’ve got ABD and Yuvi in your middle order, you mustn’t ask for more. These two are the cleanest hitters when it comes to batting and can change gears swiftly. Quintin De Kock is a perfect addition in the middle order for he’s an amply talented batsman.
All Rounders
Washington Sundar: 3.2 crores
He’s not just the only all rounder in the team. Yuvraj is one too and can chip in a few overs whenever a 6th bowler would be needed. Washington Sundar is an amazing all round talent.
Bowlers
Kuldeep Yadav: 5.8 Crores
Mohammad Shami: 3 crores
Mitchel Starc: 9.4 crores
Vinay Kumar: 1 crore
Total Cost: 45 crores
Now this very rich looking side with AB De Villiers as the skipper looks so handsome and dominating. With the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Shami and Mitchel Starc in the bowling department, you couldn’t ask for more in this budget.
