Kavya Maran, the daughter of SRH owner Kalanithi Maran, marked her present at the IPL auction table, and was all over the moon after acquiring the services of the young England batter.
Interestingly, she did not bid on Kane Williamson who was the first player to be sold in the set 1. He went to Gujarat Titans (GT) for his base price of Rs 2 crore.
Kavya had come to the auction having made up her mind and with the help of legends Brian Lara and Muttiah Muralitharan got her best buys.
