Even after KKR’s victory, many questions were raised on Gautam Gambhir’s decision, what is the reason behind it?

Gautam Gambhir Mistakes in Auction: Kolkata Knight Riders got a resounding victory against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 10th match of IPL 2024. This is the second consecutive win for Kolkata this season. KKR had won the first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad by 4 runs. Now Kolkata has also defeated RCB. If seen on this basis, Kolkata is playing well, yet questions are being raised on Gautam Gambhir’s decision. Fans are talking on social media that Gambhir made a mistake in the IPL 2024 auction.

What mistake did Gambhir commit in the auction?

Let us tell you that even though Kolkata Knight Riders have won both the matches, the performance of the player on whom KKR had made the biggest bet in the auction has been very poor. Kolkata had made the highest bid in the auction on Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc. Kolkata mentor Gautam Gambhir was also involved in the auction, he bid Rs 24.75 crore on Mitchell Starc and included the player in his team. Starc had performed well in the ICC World Cup 2023, that is why Gambhir had made such a big bid on him, but now that the IPL has started, Gautam Gambhir might be regretting bidding on Starc.

The most expensive player got beaten in both the matches.

Mitchell Starc has become the most expensive player not only in the IPL 2024 auction but also in the history of IPL. In such a situation, KKR was hopeful that Starc would play an important role in Kolkata’s victory with his performance, but Starc’s performance in the first two matches was completely poor. Let us tell you that the bowler was beaten badly in the first match against Hyderabad also. In this match, Starc gave away 53 runs in 4 overs. Not only was he the most expensive player in this match, apart from this he could not take even a single wicket. Now against Bengaluru also, RCB batsmen have beaten Starc a lot. In this match too, Starc has given away 47 runs in 4 overs. Even in this match, Starc has not taken a single wicket.
