Nehal Wadhera, with a base price of ₹30 lakh, sparked a bidding war between CSK, LSG, and PBKS. The bids quickly crossed the ₹1 crore mark, with CSK leading at ₹1.40 crore. The battle intensified as PBKS and Gujarat Titans joined in. After a final tussle with Delhi, PBKS secured Wadhera for ₹4.20 crore. MI chose not to use their RTM, sealing the deal.
