England pacer Reece Topley, having a base price of INR 75 Lakh, was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for INR 1.9 Crore.
"Topley is SOLD to @RCBTweets for INR 1.9 Crore #TATAIPLAuction | @TataCompanies," tweeted IPL. Topley has had an incredible 2022 and was a revelation for England during the home series against India, in which he troubled the Indian top-order. In 16 T20Is, he has taken 17 wickets this year, with best bowling figures of 3/22. England veteran pacer Chris Jordan went unsold in his initial bid.

So far, I'm pleased with the RCB auction. Jacks in particular. Would have liked Jhye over Topley, but it has no immediate impact on the squad and it is not their fault Topley got in early. The budget was carefully managed.
