Legends and pundits react to IPL 2021 auction throwing wild surprises
Well, the IPL Auction certainly got a new kick-in, with some players going for crazy cash, including the usual suspects in the form of Maxwell and Morris. But when it came to the new players, Jhye Richardson, Riley Meredith and Kyle Jamieson came out as the Richie Rich-es in the auction.

Really delighted for @cheteshwar1 comeback in #IPL . Couldn't have asked for a better captain than Dhoni who knows how to get the best out of each individual. #IPLAuction #IPL2021Auction pic.twitter.com/IToyc6NIFL

Adil Rashid couldn't draw interest
How Adil Rashid doesn’t get a big IPL deal is beyond me !!!!! Why don’t the franchises go for him !?? With @rashidkhan_19 he is the best at the T20 format !!! Don’t get it ... #IPLAuction2021

Buying players for big prices is fine until you're utilising them to the fullest!
