SA20 Auction: Franchises Break Bank With Rs 59 Crore Spent On Proteas Talent
Pretoria Capitals Head Coach Sourav: A mega R116.9 million (approx. Rs 59 crore) was spent on South African players, which includes R22.8 million (approx. Rs11.4 crore) on 12 Under-23 players at the SA20 Season 4 Player Auction as Dewald Brevis and Aiden Markram shattered auction records, with the pair becoming the most expensive buys in the history of all auctions to date.
The South African top-order batters, who were the talk of the town before going under Richard Madley’s hammer, were in huge demand in Johannesburg, setting the entire cricket world abuzz during the tense bidding wars for the marquee sets.
The Pretoria Capitals, who had Indian legend and new coach Sourav Ganguly setting the bids for the Centurion franchise, won a bidding war with Joburg Super Kings to land Brevis for a whopping R16.5 million (approx. Rs 8.3 crore) to become the most expensive player bought in the SA20 auction history.
