In a surprising turn of events, Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has shattered all previous records by becoming the most expensive player in the history of the Uttar Pradesh T20 League. The ‘Swing King’ was snapped up by Lucknow Falcons for a staggering INR 30.25 lakh, outbidding all other franchises in the auction.
Kumar’s move from Noida Super Kings to Lucknow Falcons has sent shockwaves through the league. Known for his impeccable swing bowling and ability to deliver under pressure, the experienced pacer is expected to be a key asset for his new team.
The Uttar Pradesh T20 League is set to kick off on August 25 and conclude on September 14 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. With the addition of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, the tournament promises to be even more exciting for cricket fans.
Will Bhuvneshwar Kumar justify his hefty price tag? Only time will tell.
