NEW DELHI (Reuters): Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer bagged eye-watering US$3 million-plus (RM13.5 million) deals in Sunday's Indian Premier League (IPL) auction shattering the previous payment record in the world's richest T20 tournament.
When Punjab Kings secured middle-order batter Iyer's service for a staggering 267.5 million Indian rupees ($3.17 million) after a fierce bidding war, it eclipsed Mitchell Starc's nearly US$3-million deal with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in last year's auction.
