In a surprising turn of events, Venkatesh Iyer has made headlines by accepting a 70% pay cut to join the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the upcoming IPL season. The talented all-rounder, who initially had a whopping auction price of Rs 23.75 crore, now finds himself signed with RCB for Rs 7 crore after they outbid the Kolkata Knight Riders. This drastic decrease in Iyer's valuation comes on the heels of a lackluster performance in the previous IPL season despite his strong showings in domestic cricket. It is a bold move by Iyer to take such a significant pay cut, but it also reflects his determination to prove himself and make a mark in the upcoming season with his new team.
