Prithvi Shaw- Delhi Daredevils
The Delhi Daredevils bought the young opening batsman from Mumbai Indians for Rs 1.2 crores which were six times his base price.
Given the presence of Gautam Gambhir in the squad, it was always going to be difficult for the youngster to break into the playing XI. However, after Gambhir’s decision to step down as the skipper and as a batsman as well, Shaw grabbed the chance at the top of the order with both hands. He had already played some sensational knocks which include a couple of brisk half-centuries.
He resembles quite a bit of the young Sachin Tendulkar. Prithvi has idolised the Master from his childhood and will want to follow in his footsteps.
Given the form he has been in this year, Prithvi is expected to garner a much-higher price in the next IPL Auctions.
