Navdeep Saini – Rs. 3 crores
Royal Challengers Bangalore bought the young seamer for a whopping Rs 3 crores in the 2018 auction. The 25-year old was a part of Delhi Daredevils’ squad last season but did not get an opportunity to play.
Navdeep was brilliant for Delhi in the 2017/18 Ranji Trophy and single-handedly took them to the finals. His impressive domestic stint caught the attention of many in the cricketing fraternity and got a call to bowl in the nets for the Indian team when they toured South Africa.
