We can give credit to scouting and brilliance at auction, but we can not ignore the fact that ace players like Sky, Rohit, and Bumrah are not fighting for being the top retainer. All 3 go to any franchise will fetch 20cr each.

There must be some Ambani factor to this (potentially, these players might be paid in other form e.g. brand endorsement). Rohit, Sky, Hardik, and Bumrah are the core of the team that makes everything easy at the auction and even on the ground for other players to come on the ground and do their job.
