Dec. 19 - Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) played a smart move during the IPL 2024 auction, with Mumbai Indians (MI) being their victim. RCB prompted a bidding war for Sri Lanka’s Nuwan Thushara, spiking his price to over Rs 4cr in the process. With just Rs 5.25 cr left in their purse, Bangalore attempted this so-called smart strategy to push MI to spend more for the pacer.

Nuwan Thushara, whose base price was Rs 50 lakhs, became the subject of a bidding war between the two sides. Bangalore bidded for the pacer until Rs 4.60 cr before pulling out, ensuring that MI will pay more than that amount to fetch the pacer. Following the pick, there was a light moment between the members on RCB and MI tables, with a few words exchanged between Akash Ambani and the RCB representative.

Earlier in the IPL auction, RCB attempted to do the sam, with DC as the victim this time. The bidding war occurred for Australia’s Jhye Richardson whose base price was Rs 1.50 cr. RCB bidded for the pacer until Rs 4.80 cr after which they gave up. Richardson was sold to DC for Rs 5 cr subsequently.

Past tense of bid should be "bid" or "bade", not bidded...

Did this, obviously the best bowler in Sri Lanka, Nuwan Thushara just land from the moon after the World Cup? Why was he not spotted before? You can see that these administrations play a big foul game and people are the victims. They go unpunished for pushing Sri Lanka to the losing side. They planned for another traitor Wanidu Hasaranga to be saved for IPL. Looks like there is big money involved in these underworld people tendering games in favour of the bidders. It's a gamble. Obvious.
