English Cricketer Phil Salt Snubbed in IPL Auction Despite Stellar Performance
In a surprising turn of events, English cricketer Phil Salt found himself without a buyer at the Indian Premier League star auction, despite being in great form in international cricket. With a base price of 1.5 crores, not a single team came forward to bid for the star player, leaving Salt bewildered and frustrated.
However, Salt did not let the disappointment affect his game, as he went on to score a century in the fourth Twenty20 match against the West Indies. The player scored 109 not out in 56 balls, followed by another century in the third match on December 16, where he scored 119 runs from 57 balls.
Expressing his frustration at being overlooked in the IPL auction, Salt mentioned that the lack of interest in him was confusing and he had hoped that someone would come forward for him. The English cricket team also expressed their astonishment at Salt’s snub, taking to social media to question how he was not picked in the IPL.
Salt’s stellar performance in the fourth Twenty20 match saw him being awarded the player of the match, as he played a crucial role in England’s victory. Batting first, England scored 267 runs on the back of Salt’s impressive performance, while the West Indies fell short and were all out for 192 runs, resulting in England’s win by 75 runs.
With the five-match series now tied at 2-2, Salt’s outstanding performance has once again brought attention to the glaring absence of his name in the IPL auction, leaving many cricket enthusiasts and analysts puzzled.
