All-rounders were auctioned in Chennai for the 14th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). 8 teams spent 57.3 million rupees and bought 57 players. Of this, the highest 67% amount i.e. Rs 97.7 crore was spent on only 28 all-rounders. South African all-rounder Chris Morris created history.
Morris became the most expensive IPL auction player ever. He was bought by Rajasthan Royals for 16.25 crores. He broke Yuvraj's record, which was bought by Delhi for the 2015 season for Rs 16 crore.
22 foreign and 35 Indian players sold

The reason for Morris's expensive sale
Morris has played a total of 218 T20s including League, Domestic and International. In this, he has scored 1764 runs at a strike rate of 151.02. He has also taken 270 wickets.
So far in the IPL, he has scored 551 runs in 70 matches. Has taken 80 wickets. His strike rate in batting is 157.87 better than Maxwell. RCB was released by Morris. In 2020, he scored 25 runs in 8 balls at a strike rate of 313 for RCB in a match.
Rajasthan needed backup of fast bowling all-rounder Jofra Archer so that if they do not play, a strong player can take their place. Morris fits this requirement, as he is an all-rounder and finisher.
Maxwell's reason for selling expensive
Maxwell has played a total of 301 T20s including League, Domestic and International. In this, he has scored 6581 runs at a 152.05 strike rate. Has scored 331 sixes and 529 fours. Has taken 108 wickets.
Maxwell also has a good record in IPL. He has scored 1505 runs in 82 IPL matches. The strike rate is 154.67. This includes 91 sixes and 118 fours. Maxwell was released by Punjab.
RCB wanted Chris Morris and Moin Ali to be an all-rounder in the middle order after the release. In the middle order, the weight of batting was coming on de Villiers. Maxwell will now be able to reduce his load.
