The two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders have bought Ajinkya Rahane for just 1 crore. The right-handed batter has been a consistent performer in the Indian Premier League. He was with Delhi Capitals in the tournament’s last edition but was not retained for IPL 2022.
Rahane was one of the best batters for the Rajasthan Royals for several seasons. In 151 IPL matches, Ajinkya has scored 3941 runs at an average of 31.5. However, he has been struggling recently but has enough experience to come out of the purple patch.
Eoin Morgan and Aaron Finch, the white-ball captains of England and Australia, were unsold. While Morgan was KKR skipper in the 14th season and led them to the league’s finale, Finch went unsold.
