Bengaluru, February 13: Several uncapped players have triggered a bidding war between franchises during IPL auctions in the past and the IPL Auction 2022 didn't disappoint. However, it went a step further as we have witnessed the most expensive uncapped player in the IPL history in this edition of the players' auction.

Young India pacer Avesh Khan was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for a whopping amount of Rs 10 crore and emerged as the highest in the history of IPL for uncapped players.
