WELLINGTON: The recent IPL megastar auction was the auction of cricket fans all over the world. This will include all the players and fans who have registered for the auction.
New Zealand cricketer Daryl Mitchell was seen bidding on TV with his wife. But when no one bought in the first round, he turned off the TV and went to sleep, thinking that no one would buy again. When he woke up, he found out that he had joined the Rajasthan Royals team.
” It was a great experience. My wife and I saw the auction together. No one took the first. With that, he went to bed thinking that no one would take him to the team and he would not be able to play in the IPL. But when I woke up, I saw the news that I had been included in the Rajasthan Royals team, ”Mitchell said in a video shared on Twitter by New Zealand Cricket.
