Ramandeep Singh IPL Mega Auction
Highlights
- Sensational revelation of Ramandeep Singh with KKR
- There was an offer of Rs 9-10 crore before mega auction
- Honesty for me more than money- Ramandeep Singh
New Delhi: When Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL title in 2024 last year, Ramandeep Singh also contributed to it. This young all -rounder of Punjab played many fast -paced innings for the team. This was the reason that Kolkata Knight Riders franchise retained him before the mega auction. But Ramandeep has now made a sensational disclosure of Ramandeep who retained for four crore rupees.
Ramandeep Singh says that before the mega auction, another team was also ready to give him Rs 9-10 crore, but he did not give up KKR. What Ramandeep has said in the current season till now, let's say.
Many teams approached me before the auction. I was told that do not be retained, we are ready to give you up to Rs 9-10 crore in auction. But honesty matters to me. When I needed, KKR gave me a platform. I remember that when retention was to be decided, Venki sir called and said, 'You are in our retention plans, what are you thinking? After all, this is your decision. If you join the auction, we will try RTM 'but I told him that I would be happy to be retained. Once you join the auction, there is no guarantee that you will be in the same team and I did not want to leave KKR. For me, a few crores of less do not matter. I wanted to respect his point.
Mumbai Indians first bought
Ramandeep Singh was selected by Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2022 as a possible replacement of Hardik Pandya. However, when Hardik returned to the franchise from Gujarat Titans (GT) before IPL 2024, he was released only after playing five matches. After helping Punjab win the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in November 2023, Ramandeep again brought himself into the discussion.
Then KKR gave another chance
Kolkata Knight Riders signed him before IPL 2024. He impressed as a lower -order finisher for KKR, scoring 125 runs at a strike rate of 201.61 in nine innings during the title winning season. Those demonstrations gave him retention before IPL 2025. Ramandeep has not yet made much impact this season, he has scored 29 runs from 23 balls and his highest score has been 22, and he has not bowled yet.
