The 2nd day of the IPL auction has brought several intense bidding wars between players. While few players went unsold, many cricketers from all around the world earned big. One such player was West Indies cricketer Romario Shephard, who was secured by Sunrisers Hyderabad for the enormous amount of Rs. 7.75 crore. Notably, Shephard attracted a lot of attention from hosts of franchises before SRH bagged him.
The Caribbean allrounder provoked a massive bidding war between Rajasthan Royals and Hyderabad franchise, which caused the bid further.
