Shai Hope (Base Price – 50 lacs):
If Chris Lynn’s shockingly easy pick for MI was anything to talk about, then Shai Hope being unsold was another unexpected thing at the auction night of the IPL 2020. The wicketkeeper-batsman of West Indies was anticipated to be among the highest bids for his performance in the international cricket.
It was his first time when Hope was registered for the IPL auctions. However, coming in at the base price of 50 lacs, Hope went unsold. The young Barbadian has featured only in 11 T20I innings and scored a total of 238 runs with two half-centuries.
