IPL 8 Auctions: 5 value for money buys

#2 Juan \'Rusty\' Theron to RR (Rs. 30 lakh)

Rusty Theron’s speciality as a limited-overs bowler had been spoken about at length, but he was never quite the same player when he stepped into the IPL.

It has been a couple of years since his participation in the league, but Theron might finally find his calling in this tournament. At 29 years of age, Theron seems to have peaked and is having a good run of performances of late. At Rajasthan Royals, there’s an opportunity for him to turn into a spearhead. At his price, it will be a characteristic Royals heist if he can deliver.
