All-rounder Krishnappa Gowtham became the most expensive buy among uncapped players in the history of the tournament. Gowtham was bought by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for INR 9.25 crore in the ongoing IPL 2021 auction.

Interestingly, Gowtham’s base price was set at INR 20 lakh. He is the second all-rounder bought by the CSK in the 2021 Auction, after England’s Moeen Ali, who was roped in by the Yellow Army at INR 7 crore.

Gowtham made his IPL debut in 2018 for Mumbai Indians (MI). The Karnataka bowler has taken 13 wickets to his credit in the cash-rich league. Overall, he has played 62 T20s, scoring 594 runs and taking 41 scalps.
