CRICKET | Parkar emerges the costliest buy in T20 Mumbai auction

The T20 Mumbai League auction on Saturday saw franchises invest heavily in proven domestic and maidan performers, with a clear tilt towards allrounders and top-order batters capable of influencing multiple phases of the game.

Leading the list was SoBo Mumbai Falcons’ acquisition of Akash Parkar for ₹12 lakh — a move that underlined both intent and recall value. Parkar was among the standout performers of the 2025 edition, and his ability to contribute with both bat and ball made him one of the most sought-after names this time around.
