It was a proper bidding war to get him back in Blue and Gold. As his former side, Rajasthan Royals weren’t letting go of him without a fight. MI placed their first bid at 6.50 Crore. Rajasthan Royals kept fighting till the bid of 12.25 Crore and they opted out later. Mumbai Indians made their fans a long wait of five hours for their first signing and as they say, patience yields the sweetest fruits.
