In the IPL 2018 players auction for spinners, it was not Kuldeep Yadav nor Yuzvendra Chalal who got attention, but it was Afghanistan's 19-year old Rashid Khan who changed the dimension at the biddings. The Team India spinners were both retained by their respective teams in the end after a war of bidding, but the Afghanistan spinner was surely taken into consideration by the rest of the IPL franchises and definitely shrunk the purses of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Rashid Khan was retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a price tag of a whopping 9 crore. The spinner had a base price of 2 crore but no one expected that the bidding war would rise, only for the Hyderabad franchise to use the Right to Match card in the end. Here the list of IPL 2018 auction for Spinners Piyush Chawla (Base Price Rs 1 crore) - retained by Kolkata Knight Riders using RTM Card at Rs 4.20 crore Imran Tahir (Base Price Rs 1 crore) - Chennai Super Kings at Base Price of Rs 1 crore Ish Sodhi (Base Price Rs 50 Lakh) - Unsold Karn Sharma (Base Price Rs 2 crore) - Chennai Super Kings at Rs 5 crore Rashid Khan (Base Price Rs 2 crore) - retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad using RTM Card for Rs 9 crore Amit Mishra (Base Price Rs 1.50 crore) - Delhi Daredevils for Rs 4 crore Samuel Badree (Base Price Rs 1 crore) - Unsold Yuzvendra Chahal (Base Price Rs 2 crore) - Retained by Royal Challengers Bangalore via RTM Card for Rs 6 crore Adam Zampa (Base Price Rs 1 crore) - Unsold Kuldeep Yadav (Base Price Rs 1.50 crore) - Retained by Kolkata Knight Riders via RTM Card for Rs 5.80 crore'.
