IPL 2018: Steal deal for every team in the auction

4. Kuldeep Yadav (Kolkata Knight Riders) – 5.8 crore

There was no hiding from the fact that Kolkata Knight Riders were bound to use the RTM card for the chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav. But even they wouldn’t have thought that they will need to shell out only Rs. 5.8 Crore for the hot property in the Indian cricket currently. It was expected that Kuldeep might garner a huge amount after his exploits for the Men in Blue in the home season which concluded in 2017. But what transpired was a little disappointment for the youngster.

Nonetheless, the current amount is also decent and he needs to justify the price tag now. The left-hander is already on the top of the world with 68 wickets in just 54 T20s he has played in his overall career. He strikes after every 17.3 balls and at an average of 21.30 which makes him the gun bowler for his captain. Kuldeep also has a five-wicket haul in this format which is a rare feat for a bowler to achieve in only 4-over spell.
