'18 Months Ago I Didn't Have A State Deal Or BBL Contract', Says Spencer Johnson After Rs 10 Crore GT Deal In IPL
Indian Premier League: Australia pacer Spencer Johnson, who was bought by Gujarat Titans (GT) for a whopping Rs 10 crore, in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 mini-auction held on Tuesday, has called it a "life-changing" deal.
At 28, Spencer stood on the brink of a life-changing moment, a dream transforming into reality. His left-arm deliveries, touching speeds of 150 kph, had earned him a place among the elite, alongside cricketing luminaries like Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell, and Cameron Green.
"Eighteen months (ago) I didn't have a state deal or a Big Bash contract. I was working as a landscaper and groundskeeper. So fast-forward 18 months, yeah it's different situations," Spencer told Cricket Australia before travelling with Brisbane Heat teammates to face the Melbourne Renegades at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night.
