DUBAIL: Uncapped Indian pacer Yash Dayal was sold to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for Rs 5 crore while Karik Tyagi, another uncapped speedster, was picked by Gujarat Titans for Rs 60 lakh.
Dayal, who was notably struck by Rinku Singh of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by five sixes last year, has been bought by RCB after a bidding war with his former franchise Gujarat Titans. “The @RCBTweets get Yash Dayal for INR 5 Crore #IPLAuction | #IPL,” tweeted IPL.
Also, the 23-year-old Kartik Tyagi was sold to Gujarat Titans for Rs 60 lakhs, three times his base price. “Kartik Tyagi is next with a base price of INR 20 Lakh. He is SOLD to the @gujarat_titans fir INR 60 Lakh #IPLAuction | #IPL,” tweeted IPL.
Tyagi was in the Indian U-19 team that finished as runner-up in the 2020 U19 World Cup, taking 11 wickets including a four-for against Australia in QFs. After a stint with RR, he was bought by SRH, in which he did not play much. He took nine wickets in five matches during the VHT, with the best figures of 3/24. The sheer pace of this young UP bowler makes him an exciting prospect.
