1. Shivil Kaushik-INR 10 lakh

Shivil-Kaushik
Shivil Kaushik impressed everyone with his performances in the IPL 2016

The ‘Indian Paul Adams’ was an unknown proposition before the world took notice of him when he played his first game in the cash-rich league against Rising Pune Supergiants. The young Chinaman bowler, who was picked up Gujarat Lions for INR 10 lakh(his base price), could also have got rid of the Australian skipper Steve Smith in his first match had he not overstepped.

However, he came back strongly in the next game and picked up a 3-for against Kings XI Punjab and the KXIP batsmen conceded the fact that it was difficult to pick the left-arm leggie.

Shivil took 6 wickets in 7 games and bowled a wonderful spell in the second qualifier against Sunrisers Hyderabad to tilt the game in Gujarat’s favour. However, SRH skipper Warner played a stupendous knock to nullify Shivil’s impressive figures of 2 for 22 in 4 overs.

He surely was an investor’s delight!
