Ashwin mock IPL Auction: Shami goes to RR but GT use RTM

In this fans-driven auction, Mohammed Shami sparked huge bidding war. With his base price of Rs 2 crore, Shami got the first bid from the Delhi team before Rajasthan Royals (RR) got hold of Shami for Rs 11.50 crore. But then, Ashwin, the auctioneer himself, asked the Gujarat Titans (GT) if they would use their Right to Match (RTM) card on Shami. GT duly agreed and snapped their IPL 2022 star for Rs 12 crore.

The veteran has made his much-awaited return in competitive cricket, that too, with a seven-wicket haul in the game. Despite missing out for an entire season, Shami is still the leading wicket-taker among pacer for GT. In 33 innings for the franchise, Shami mustered 48 wickets at an average of 21.04. He knows the franchise in-and-out and would be ideal candidate for the Gujarat Titans.
