#3 The costliest IPL player, Virat Kohli, maybe?

1 Neymar = 86 Virat Kohlis

The world went berserk when French Football giant$, Pari$ $aint-G€rmain signed Brazilian star Neymar from FC Barcelona for a whopping €222 million last month. It was the costliest buy in the history of the sport as the sum made the previous costliest buy, Manchester United's €90 million to land French midfielder Paul Pogba in 2016, look like a joke.

Who can be Neymar's equivalent in IPL? Who will be IPL's most expensive player? There will be few names that might fetch a big sum, but no one can be as costly as the poster boy of the Indian team, Virat Kohli (without a shadow of a doubt, he will fetch the highest amount if he enters the auction pool).

Had IPL had a transfer window, we can see all the teams fighting for Virat Kohli's signature. At the same time, the transfer won't cost more than 20 crore INR (€2.6 million approx.) as the costliest player in the history of IPL is Yuvraj Singh, who was acquired by Delhi Daredevils in 2016 for 16 crore INR (€2.1 million approx.).

Even if Kohli fetches €2.6 million, i.e. 20 crore INR, that will be €219.4 million less than Neymar's fee.

In simple words, 1 Neymar = 86 Virat Kohlis.
