#1 Siddharth Sirish Desai
Siddharth Sirish Desai was the costliest player of the season 7 auctions, as he was signed up by the Telugu Titans for a sum of ₹1.45 crore, on the back of a magnificent debut season with U Mumba.
Known for his extreme raiding skills, Desai has been compared to top-rated players like Rahul Chaudhari and record-breaker Pardeep Narwal. In just his debut season, he scored 221 points in 21 matches, a stunning feat as he also became the fastest raider to reach multiple landmarks.
A master of the running hand touch, Desai was absolutely unstoppable, mixing his raiding with bonus attempts and touch attempts as he reached his first five Super 10s in just six games for U Mumba.
However, in a shocking move, U Mumba did not retain their star raider for season 7 and he will turn out for the Telugu Titans, under the tutelage of Iranian coach Gholamreza Mazandarani.
