Zimbabwe's all-rounder Sikandar Raza made his debut in the IPL auction, Raza who was residing in Nepal during the mini-auction missed his own bidding due to low internet connectivity. He was sold to the Punjab Kings at the base price for INR 50 lakh. 

Raza only found out about the news of him being sold when his friends congratulated him. The all-rounder thought that his friends might have been pranking him because he couldn't follow the auction himself. 

Raza's peculiar auction

"what, I can’t see it. Are you guys playing a prank?’ They said to check the auction. I said I am checking but I haven’t even been up there."

“What happened was, by the time I reconnected, I had gone already. So basically I didn’t see the bid. Maybe that was a good thing actually. I reckon it’s a good thing. If I was watching, I would have shouted in the meeting!"

“It was part of my thinking that before I hang my boots up, it would be nice to have the IPL on my CV." “Alhamdulillah (thank God) it has happened. I am really happy, humble and excited at the same time. I would have [been fine with] any franchise but to have a Punjabi munda in Punjab, it is a great match."
