  • Unveiling the Most Expensive Player in IPL History Across All Seasons

    The thrill of an IPL auction is no less than the tournament itself— seeing your favorite team bidding for your favorite player is enough to spark excitement.

    The Indian Premier League is not just a regular sports event— it’s a mega cricket festival. In a franchise sports tournament like IPL, auctions play a significant role as players list their contracts for sale, and the owner bids to buy them.

    Over the years, the IPL auction has given the game of cricket many unknown faces who became big names and millionaires. The auction room has also witnessed star players being left unsold, franchises fighting for players, and millions and millions of dollars being spent on buying their services. As the wealthiest T20 league in the world, the Indian Premier League has seen it all.

    Here is the list of IPL highest price player of all seasons.

    ‌‌During the inaugural season of the IPL, MS Dhoni became the most expensive player when Chennai Super Kings bought him for INR 9.5 crore. It wasn’t a surprise that Dhoni got the highest bid. The then captain of the Indian T20I team, who won the ICC 2007 T20 World Cup, MSD in 2008, was unstoppable— the aura, the performances, the stats— he was the best finisher of the game. That year, leading CSK to the finals, Dhoni amassed 414 runs in 16 matches with a healthy strike rate of 133.54 and an average of 41.40. Under his captaincy, CSK won 4 IPL titles in— 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2021. After playing in all the IPL seasons for CSK, the veteran keeper-batter has taken retirement from international cricket in 2020 and will serve CSK for the last time in 2023.

    Chennai Super Kings bought the English all-rounder, Andrew Flintoff for 9.8 crores INR, and Kevin Pietersen, the English top-order batsman, was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for the same price. But neither of the cricketers proved to be worth the money. Flintoff had his first and last appearance in India’s premier domestic league in 2009. After taking two wickets and playing three matches, he withdrew from the franchise because of a knee injury. Kevin Pietersen also had a difficult season with the bat– he totaled 96 runs in six matches. He last played in the IPL in 2016 for the Rising Pune Super Giants.‌‌‌‌

Clinching nine wickets at a decent economy rate of 7.22, he was outstanding throughout the season. But sadly, 2009 was Bond’s only appearance in the IPL. Shane Bond is the current bowling coach for the Mumbai Indians (MI).

    Varun Chakravarty, who started his IPL career with a tag of INR 8.4 crore in 2019, failed to make an impact and played just 1 match for the Punjab-based franchise, where he took one wicket at an economy rate of 11.66.

    Aanan was a fellow at the Stanford Biodesign School in 2012. As an alumnus of Stanford Biodesign, Aanan Khurma used to conduct a lot of Design Thinking workshops to disseminate the ideology of Stanford D-School to college students. It was during the organization of one such workshop that Aanan met Aditya Seth who was an industrial design student inclined toward designing manufacturing assembly lines. Both of them launched a brand together called Unsnack which was one of the early D2C brands in the Indian ecosystem. Both of them were later joined by Ripunjay Chachan who was Aanan’s batchmate at Stanford Biodesign. Yuvraj Singh was a consumer of the products crafted and traded by Wellversed before he decided to invest in Wellversed and later become a part of the core team of Wellversed.

    Aanan is the CEO of the Company and is primarily responsible for Business Intelligence, Defining Long Term Goals, and probably one of the only CEOs who directly leads the Human Resources department. Aditya Seth leads the supply chain while Ripunjay Chachan leads Business Growth. Yuvraj Singh is the chief evangelist and flag bearer of the message of health and wellbeing.

    Wellversed – The Idea and Startup Story

    The company started out as a personal quest to maximize healthspan. The human body is designed to live up to 120 years of age but most people become dysfunctional by 65-70 years of age. Aanan Khurma realized that people can live a disease-free life of quality, vigor, and intensity if their lifestyle is right. He realized that consumer brands are not optimizing for the long-term well-being of human beings. This led him to launch his first brand called Unsnack. Subsequently, he launched several brands like Ketofy, Ovego, and Wellcore to cater to different use-cases of wellness.

    These brands were unified under the common umbrella of Wellversed Full-Stack Accelerator structure evolved to help great founders create genuine wellness brands.

    There is a very interesting story behind the name of the Company. Aanan’s first startup – Hansure – was funded by Microsoft Ventures. When he was going through the journey of formulating what is now Wellversed he was exchanging ideas with the Director of Microsoft Venture Fund. The Director asked Aanan to send a small note about his startup in order to make a connection with a probable seed investor. As an interim thought, Aanan penned down the name Wellversed in order for this connection to be made and the conversation to proceed further. The Company was never renamed although the name is difficult to pronounce and several stakeholders have pointed out that it’s an awkward name. Since Wellversed platform is not primarily consumer-facing, they never thought it would be relevant to rename the Company.

    Wellversed is a tech-enabled full-stack accelerator for wellness brands. They assist founders in their journeys to build and scale genuine wellness brands. A great consumer brand is built through only THREE things:

    • A solution that serves a need.
    • A product that is great.
    • A brand story to carry the message to the masses.

    In a typical scenario, running a brand has so many operational components to it that a founder is not able to focus on the core aspects of creating a brand. Wellversed relieves founders from all the operational hassle of selling their products. This includes eCommerce Operations, Performance Marketing, Listing Operations, Warehousing & Logistics, etc. This allows founders to build genuine products to solve a real problem and craft a story that resonates. Wellversed is accelerating 40 wellness brands as of June 2022.

    Wellversed – Business Model

    The business model of Wellversed is centred on accelerating brands and charging them a percentage of their growth revenue. Their EBITA margins are close to 18-20%.

    Wellversed – Customer Acquisition

    They didn’t have a website for 6 months after they started selling to end consumers. They primarily relied on third-party eCommerce channels like Amazon.

    Their only hack was discipline and diligence. Most companies talk about consumer centricity but Aanan and Aditya actually spoke to most consumers to whom they sold. Back then, sellers could access the phone numbers of consumers who ordered via Amazon.

    Wellversed – Challenges Faced

    They took a very unique approach to create a group of brands that maximise human wellness. When they started, this concept and way of building multiple brands were not well understood. The toughest part was the impact that people’s limited understanding had on their own mindset.

    Wellversed – Recognition and Achievements

    Their achievement is the culture of the Company. They believe that great things are achieved through distributed intelligence and the first step to that is creating trust on an individual level. Systems like beehives, ant colonies, and the human brain are regarded as some of the most complicated structures in the universe. The commonality between these biological systems is that they do not have a single intelligence centre. The fact is that the most cooperative, intelligent, and admirable biological systems in the universe have been created by distributed intelligence. This is noteworthy because an individual needs to operate by a minimal set of rules in a distributed intelligence system.
