Multiplication of Dhanvarsha is very complicated

So far a lot has been written about the mini-auction for IPL 2023 but what happened there and where the IPL players are priced at – needs to be looked at from a fresh perspective.

Everyone knows that Punjab Kings bought Sam Karen for Rs 18.50 crore and no one knows what happened to Sam on this. He says that he could not sleep the whole night after hearing the news. The England fast bowler – who was once regarded as one of the top bowlers in the world – will also write in his profile that he became the most expensive player ever in IPL history.

Where will you get sleep when you get such money? IPL has come a long way since 2008 and the way the league has attracted top cricketers and new talent from abroad and India – the answer is no. Its increasing brand equity and the larger pockets of franchises in auctions on players are unique in the world of cricket.

Looking at this year’s auction, it is clear that the team owners were eyeing all-rounders and they have generally fetched more money. Even though Punjab Kings spent Rs 18.5 crore on Sam, they could not buy him easily. Clashes with Mumbai Indians, a total of 70 bids and six teams initially vying for them (this has not happened for any other player) – this auction was a record. If not Sam, Mumbai Indians spent Rs 17.5 crore on Cameron Green of Australia and Chennai Super Kings spent Rs 16.25 crore on Ben Stokes. what is all this? At the time of the launch of IPL, this would happen – no one thought it would happen.

That evening in Kochi, the franchise spent a total of Rs 167 crore on 80 players in the auction. It’s not that all the money was taken by all-rounders – money was spent on batsmen and bowlers too, especially batsmen. There is no shortage of those who believe that the new rule of ‘Impact Player’ coming in the IPL was responsible for a lot – now teams were also looking for players who would fill the need of this big option.

Like Harry Brook, Mayank Agarwal and Manish Pandey took crores in this affair. The most surprised were the players of England. 58.1 crore rupees were spent on their eight players. This much was not spent even on 51 Indian players in total. To be precise, there is a difference of Rs 16 crore in both the amounts. Sam Karen, Stokes and Harry Brook alone fetched Rs 48 crore, which is almost 29 per cent of the total auction cost.

Rs 70.95 crore was spent on all-rounders. Eight crore rupees on Indians and Rs 62.95 crore on foreigners. Out of the total 80 players sold – Rs 139 crore was spent on 37 capped players and Rs 28 crore was spent on 43 uncapped players. It is strange economics of IPL that Kane Williamson who was getting Rs 14 crore from Sunrisers last season, this time he was bought by Titans for his base price of Rs 2 crore.

This is also not a record for a price drop of Rs 12 crore. His own countryman Kyle Jamieson’s price dropped by Rs 14 crore – in 2021, the Royal Challengers had spent Rs 15 crore for him and this time the Super Kings got him for only Rs 1 crore. Richardson’s price dropped from Rs 12.5 cr – Rs 14 cr (Kings) and now Rs 1.5 cr to Mumbai Indians.

If we apply percentage math, Jamison got 93.33% less money and Romario Shepherd made a record in this case with 93.5% – in 2022, which was Rs 7.75 crores for Sunrisers, this time Super Giants got only Rs 50 lakhs. went. Similarly, in terms of money, Karen made the biggest jump of Rs 13 cr (from Rs 5.5 cr to Rs 18.5 cr in 2021) while Reilly Rossouw saw the biggest percentage increase – 1433.33% more than in 2015 when the last The last time he was a part of IPL, he got Rs 30 lakh from Royal Challengers and this time Delhi Capitals spent Rs 4.6 crore for him.

Another huge mystery of this auction is how did Sam Curran take away the big contract from Ben Stokes in the auction? It is true that Sam has a record of 1,179 runs and 104 wickets in 77 international matches, but Stokes’s record of 9,111 runs and 293 wickets in 237 international matches is no less and on that he is Ben Stokes. Ok, Stokes also got Rs 16.25 cr but why less than Sam?

Marketing experts say – the biggest rule of IPL auction is demand-supply. Both Curren and Stokes are seam-bowling all-rounders. Now, while buying a player, the team looks more at their needs, not his name. Why foreign spinners sell less here – because there are so many of our own spinners. There’s a dearth of all-rounders – so foreigners take home more money. Four of the costliest buys ever at an IPL auction. South Africa’s Chris Maris in 2021, and this year Stokes, Karen and Australia’s Cameron Green – all seam-bowling all-rounders.
