Steve Smith will not come to India to play IPL 2021 for 2.2 crores

New Delhi: Former Australian captain Michael Clarke has made a surprise claim after Steve Smith sold for just 2.2 crores in the recent Indian Premier League auction. He said that it is difficult for Steve Smith to play in IPL 2021 at such a low price. Clarke was surprised that Delhi Capitals bought Smith-like batsman for just such an amount, although many others were surprised by this. Clarke feels that he may withdraw from the tournament due to a 'mild hamstring stretch'.

Clarke said on the Big Sports Breakfast podcast, 'I know that his performance in T20 is not so good and last year's IPL was also not so good. I was quite surprised that it was sold in such an amount which is less than $ 400,000. He said, "But if you see how much money he was getting in the role of Rajasthan Royals captain last season, don't be surprised if his hamstring gets stretched on the day he leaves for India." Clarke said, 'For the eight-week tournament and in 11 weeks' time, given the segregation before the tournament starts, I don't think he would be asking his family and wife for 11 weeks' time for Rs 2.2 crore. Will stay away Before this season, Smith's salary was Rs 12.5 crore per season.
