₹1.9 crore investment, ₹16.8 crore return: How an IPL 2009 investment delivered nearly nine times the payoff
A ₹1.9 crore IPL buy returned nearly ₹17 crore, with two matches alone worth more than his entire price. The numbers hid the real impact.
There are IPL seasons remembered through mountains of runs, 25-wicket campaigns and awards collected at the end of a tournament. This was not one of them.
