IPL Auction

Re: IPL Auction

More Maxwell watch rather than IPL but he is currently on 48* from 19 balls, watching it he is in some kind of form. No one striking them better in the world at the moment

Another 95 off 43 balls, he is in amazing form.
Maxwell has the highest three innings of the tournament so far.

Crazy story:

NEW DELHI, India (AP) ? A 13-year-old cricketer from India?s northern state of Bihar could become the sport?s latest Twenty20 batting sensation.

The Rajasthan Royals think so highly of Vaibhav Suryavanshi that they paid $130,000 in the Indian Premier League?s mega auction for his services, making him the youngest ever to be selected.

Suryavanshi came to the limelight last month when he scored a century against Australia?s under-19 team off just 58 balls before he got out for 104.

At the age of 13 years and 187 days, Suryavanshi broke the record of Bangladesh?s present test captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, who at the age of 14 years and 241 days held the previous record of scoring a century at youth level.

The Delhi Capitals also showed interest when the bid for Suryavanshi started at his base price of $35,500.

?He?s been to our high performance center in Nagpur, he had trials there and really impressed our coaching set-up there,? Rajasthan CEO Jake Lush McCrum said after the auction ended Monday. ?He?s an incredible talent and of course you?ve got to have the confidence so he can step up to the IPL level.?
