With the loss of Quinton de Kok to the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), MI was keen to bring Kishan back and change the way they approached the IPL auction, having never spent more than Rs 10 crore per player before in the mega event.
Kishan was expected to be retained by the MI management, but the think tank instead retained Rohit Sharma, Jaspreet Bhumra, Kieran Pollard and Suryakumar Yadav.
Yuvraj Singh, who was bought by Delhi Capitals (DC) for Rs 16 crore in IPL 2008, is the highest-paid Indian player in IPL auction history.
