Allrounder Harshal Patel started a bidding war between SRH and GT. Harshal’s cutters and slowies will suit the bigger ground in Hyderabad. After bid reached ₹6 crore, Kaviya Maran and Dan Vettori had a little chatter. They raised the price to ₹6.75 crore. GT have pulled out. PBKS wanted to use RTM, SRH raised the price to ₹8 crore. PBKS aren’t interested and SRH gets Harshal for ₹8 crore.
