IPL 2022: Every young cricketer dreams of playing in the same team as Virat Kohli, says RCB's Rs 3.4 crore recruit Anuj Rawat
Anuj Rawat, was glued to the television screen at his rented apartment in Janak Puri (in Delhi) when the IPL 2022 auction began. When his name was called by the auctioneer, Anuj was confident that he would be bought by some team or the other, but what he wasn't expecting was to become a millionaire. Anuj, who played for the Rajasthan Royals last season (in 2021), was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for a whopping Rs. 3.40 crore. His base price was Rs 20 lakh. "I was expecting a good IPL deal because of my good performances in domestic cricket. I was expecting a deal for a decent amount, but I wasn't expecting this high a bid for me. (laughs). I am really happy and I am looking forward to playing for RCB and giving my 100 percent," Anuj, who scored 167 runs in 5 Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 matches last season, at an average of 33.40, told TimesofIndia.com in an exclusive interview.
