Harry Gurney

Base price: Rs. 1.5 crore

The England medium pacer has set an astonishing base price for himself. Priced at Rs. 1.5 crore, he has put himself in the second best price bracket in the auction. Harry Gurney has not played in IPL before and is thus relatively unknown to the fans and the franchises.

Gurney plays for Nottinghamshire in county cricket and has an average record in T20s, taking 114 wickets in 99 matches at an economy of 7.78. He has played in a handful of matches for England in the international where he has not enjoyed much success.

In 10 ODIs that he has played for England, Gurney has taken 11 wickets.

Rs. 1.5 crore is too much for an opening bid for a player of his caliber. Even players of the likes of Lasith Malinga and Mustafizur Rahman have set a base price of Rs. 1 crore for themselves.
