Venkatesh Iyer, Bought For Rs 23.75 Crore By KKR, Shines For MP In Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
After attracting a Rs 23.75 crore bid from Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL mega auction, Venkatesh Iyer made a small right step while producing an all-round effort to propel Madhya Pradesh to a 101-run win over Meghalaya in a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Group A match on Monday. Venkatesh got the third highest bid in the auction being held at Jeddah after Rishabh Pant (Rs 27 crore) and Shreyas Iyer (Rs 26.75 crore). Venkatesh first made a 17-ball 37 (4x6) which along with Rajat Patidar's 78 (36b, 6x4, 6x6) guided MP to 222 for five in 20 overs.
