In a world where IPL teams splash crores on superstars, Sunrisers Hyderabad found a diamond in the rough for just 30 lakhs! Aniket Verma's match-winning 74 runs against Delhi Capitals wasn't just a great knock—it was perhaps the best return on investment in IPL 2025.
The Bargain of the Century for SRH
When SRH picked up Aniket for 30 lakhs in the mega auction, few noticed. But after his heroics, that 30 lakh investment has delivered returns that would make even seasoned investors jealous!
Investment | Return | Profit | Return On Investement |
₹30 lakhs | ₹1Cr | ₹70 lakhs | 233% |
That's right! In just ONE match, Verma has potentially earned SRH a whopping 70 lakh profit! That's the kind of return most businesses dream of making in a year!
The 70 Lakh Profit: SRH's Shopping Spree
With the 70 lakh profit from just ONE Aniket Verma innings, SRH could now afford:
- Two luxury SUVs
- A small coffee shop franchise
- 7 high-end gaming setups
- 350 premium smartphone devices
The Verma Value Formula
When SRH was struggling at 25-3, Verma's 74 runs (which made up 45% of the team's total) took them to a fighting total. Each run he scored cost SRH approximately ₹4,054 – cheaper than most items in a luxury restaurant!
Next time you're shopping for something expensive, just remember: it might look nice, but can it win you an IPL match like Aniket Verma? We didn't think so!
