India all-rounder Krunal Pandya was acquired by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 8.25 crores while Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was sold to Delhi Capitals for Rs 6.50 crores. Sri Lanka spinner Wanindu Hasaranga was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for Rs 10.75 crore. India all-rounder Deepak Hooda was sold to Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 5.75 crore while Harshal Patel was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for Rs 10.75 crore.
It is very interesting that Deepak Hooda will now play with Krunal, with whom he had altercation with ahead of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2020. After that Hooda had quit the team and had joined Rajasthan.
Since then the two players are not on talking terms. They will be united at Lucknow Super Giant and it will interesting how things go.
