Ishan Kishan scored 69 off just 34 balls for Mumbai Indians (MI) against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2024, strengthening his selection for the T20 World Cup hope. Before this game, Kishan had scored just 92 runs in four games and his knock against RCB will surely boost his confidence for the rest of the season. However, a fan asked former SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) head coach Tom Moody an interesting auction-related question involving Kishan’s name.
The fan asked Moody if he regretted not bidding more than Rs 15 crore for Kishan in the IPL 2022 mega auction.
For the unknown, Kishan was released by MI ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction. However, the five-time champion once again bought him at auction for a whopping Rs 15.25 crore.
MI was involved in a bidding war with SRH for Kishan but the 2016 champions withdrew from the race after bidding exceeded Rs 15 crore.
“Does Tom regret not buying Ishan Kishan for over Rs 15 crore at the SRH auction?” a fan asked him in the discussion ESPNcricinfo.
Moody, who was present at SRH that day, gave a hilarious answer to a fan’s question.
“I don’t have a paddle, sir,” Moody replied.

Talking about his T20 World Cup selection chances, Kishan recently said: “It’s not in my control and I’m taking things very lightly now. You have to take it one game at a time. People need to understand that a lot of things are not in my hands Under control.” Players’ hands. “
