Bangladesh pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman was
sold to Delhi Capitals for his base price of INR 2 crore (US$ 266,000) during
the mega auction of Indian Premier League (IPL).
Delhi would be Mustafizur's fourth IPL team in
five years after playing in Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan
Royals.
He started his IPL journey in 2016 when
Sunrisers Hyderabad recruited him. Mustafizur's performance was key in helping
Hyderabad become champion in that edition. He was adjudged Emerging Player of
the IPL in that year and till now remained the only overseas player to have
achieved that feat.
Later in his stint with Hyderabad and Mumbai
Indians he couldn't show that killer form. However he regained his sublime
touch during his stint with Rajasthan Royals in the last year.
While Mustafizur got a team to play the IPL,
there was no taker for Shakib Al Hasan.
The premier player of the world has recently
made another record by being adjudged man of the match for the five consecutive
matches in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). No other player could
be the man of the match for five times in a row in the T20 tournament in any
part of the world.
Therefore expectation was high on him but no one
in the auction showed their interest to recruit him. He will be put on auction
again on day two.
Shakib however has put him in the highest
category of player with base price of INR 2 crore like Mustafizur Rahman.
In the IPL, Shakib played in nine editions from
2011 to 2021 for two teams. In between in 2013 and 2020, he could not play
because of his ban from the cricket.
Shakib has played 71 matches in IPL and scored
793 runs in 52 innings at an average 19.83. He has just two half-century under
his belt in IPL. He hit 73 fours and 21 sixes in the IPL, the world's most
attractive T20 tournament.
On the other hand, he took 63 wickets with the
cherry, conceding 7.44 runs per over with no four or five-wicket haul.
Meanwhile other Bangladeshi players-Taskin
Ahmed, Shoriful Islam and Liton Das are yet to put on auction. These three
players' base price is INR 50 lakh.
