IPL 2018: Players who were sold at more than 10 times their base price

10. Karun Nair | KXIP | INR 5.6 crores | Base Price: INR 50 Lakhs | 11.2 times

Karun Nair took the whole of India by a surprise when he hit a Test match triple ton against England. Also, he is only the second Indian after Virender Sehwag to achieve this feat. He earned the India cap on the basis of his performances in the domestic circuit. He is a technically sound right-handed batsman with a good temperament and technique. Nair was initially bought by the RCB in 2012. Later in 2016, he represented the Delhi Daredevils and also captained the team last year.

Nair played 55 IPL games so far with 1158 runs under his belt. However, his averages are on the lower side but have a decent career strike rate. He didn’t have a great season in 2017 and has scored only 281 runs in the 144 matches he played. There was a mini-bidding war for Nair. He was finally picked by KXIP for ₹5.6 crores, 11.2 times his base price.
