Rishabh Pant's cellphone must be going bonkers in Perth after his record-breaking Rs 27 crore Indian Premier League (IPL) pay-cheque took the internet by storm on day one of the auction in Jeddah on Sunday.
The wicketkeeper-batter, who was not retained by Delhi Capitals (DC) and is currently playing the Test series in Australia, was bought by the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) after an intense bidding war with Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi -- taking his base-price of Rs 2 crore to a record rise.
