2. Kumar Kushagra
Jharkhand’s wicketkeeper-batter became a part of DC for a massive sum of INR 7.2 crore. His base price was only INR 20 lakh but Capitals engaged in a bidding battle with the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) to get the 19-year-old at the humongous amount.
With wicketkeepers like Shai Hope, Tristan Stubbs, Ricky Bhui, and Abhishek Porel in the team, Kumar Kushagra might not get a lot of matches in the competition. However, if he gets the opportunity from the team management, he will look to showcase his potential with the bat and gloves.
The youngster’s batting numbers for Jharkhand are superb in domestic cricket. In List A cricket, he has racked up 700 runs with seven half-centuries in 19 innings of 23 matches, at an average of 46.66.
