Shah Rukh Khan replied to Which'll Be More Dunki 1st Day Collection Or Mitchell Starc's Price In The IPL 2024 Auction?
The fast bowler of Australian cricket team Mitchell Starc made history on Tuesday by becoming the costliest player in the history of the Indian Premier League. The veteran cricketer sparked a major bidding war, which ended with the Kolkata Knight Riders paying a massive sum of Rs 24.75 crore for his services. KKR owner and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, whose movie 'Dunki' will release on December 21, was asked by a fan on social media whether his film's first-day collection will be more than Starc's auction price, and he came up with a hilarious response.
"Yeh, ku sawaal hai bhai. Chalo and cheese wala. Dunki me aayega wahan to gaya hai bas!! Ha ha," he posted on X in response to the fan's question.
Such are the unpredictable ways of IPL that one-third of the formidable Australian pace trio, Josh Hazlewood, went unsold in the first round of auction from a base price of Rs 2 crore. The Gujarat Titans and KKR were involved in a long and exhilarating bidding battle for Starc before the latter lapped him up for a record deal.
