Robin Minz, with a base price of ₹30 lakh, sparked a bidding war between CSK and MI at the IPL auction. CSK eventually backed out, and Mumbai Indians secured the UP wicketkeeper-batter for ₹65 lakh. Meanwhile, the UP wicketkeeper-batter, also listed at ₹30 lakh, failed to attract any bids and went unsold, remaining without a team for now.
