When teams are preparing in the short term before an Indian Premier League auction day, the surprise factor usually tends to be high. The requirements that franchises have are usually very specific and the talent pool is unlikely to have the depth for them to let go when a player goes beyond a reasonable price. This much is known.
But even if one was prepared for such surprises beforehand, there is no possible way the things that happened in the auction ahead of IPL 2021 could have foreseen. On one day, these records were set: Chris Morris received the highest ever bid, Riley Meredith became the most expensive uncapped overseas player, Krishnappa Gowtham set the record for the most a team has spent on an uncapped Indian cricketer. Apart from that, the likes of Jhye Richardson and Kyle Jamieson overshot most reasonable expectations of how much interest they would generate.
