In a surprising twist during the IPL 2024 auction, Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga was sold to Sunrisers Hyderabad for only Rs 1.50 crore, a price that shocked many in the cricket community. This acquisition followed Sunrisers Hyderabad's earlier purchase of Travis Head for Rs. 6.80 crore, raising eyebrows about the bidding strategies of other franchises [fb581f7d].
The low price of Hasaranga ignited a wave of reactions on social media, with fans expressing their disbelief and creating memes that humorously critiqued the other teams for not valuing the spinner higher.
