Taking forward his phenomenal form in Vijay Hazare Trophy

One of the headline makers after the IPL player auction, Krishnappa Gowtham became the most expensive uncapped spinner to take part in the upcoming season, when Rajasthan Royals shopped him for ₹ 6.2 crores.

For his domestic side Karnataka, the 29-year-old is hailed as a T20 specialist, portraying his quality both with the ball and bat. It's not the first time he went under the hammer for crores. Last year, Mumbai Indians invested ₹ 2 crores on him, which was 20 times his base price, only to sideline him throughout the season.
