IPL 2021 Auctions: Mujeeb joins the Afghan duo as SRH picked spinner for ₹ 1.5 Cr

Indian Premier League IPL 2021 Auctions: Coming into the auction with ₹ 10.75 crores in their wallet, David Warner's SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) just bought three players. The Afghan mystery spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Indian middle-order batsman Kedar Jadhav can turn out to be good buys for the much-awaited 14th season of the IPL 2021, kick-starting from April. The Orange Army has not tinkered much with their squad over the years and believes in being consistent with their squad and even in IPL 2021 auction, SRH bought just three players at the IPL 2021 Auction.

Undoubtedly, Warner and co are one of the most consistent sides with some marquee players among their squads. Their spin bowling department also looks sorted out, with the Afghan duo - Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi already in their ranks and now Mujeeb UR Rahman joining them. Ahead of the IPL 2021 auction, the off-spinner has set his base price at INR 1.5 crores.
