Roman Duvekot will turn up for Delhi SG Pipers
After their failed attempt at Cooper Burns, Delhi SG Pipers rope in Roman Duvekot at the base price. Sold for Rs 10 lakh!
The Pipers struggled to score goals last season and this should help them strengthen on that front.
Huge pay day for Cooper Burns!
Kalinga Lancers and Delhi SG Pipers go head-to-head to acquire the services of 23-year-old Cooper Burns.
There seems to be no holding back as the bid zooms after Rs 30 lakh, after starting at Rs 10 lakh.
Kalinga Lancers take the bid up to Rs 34.50 lakh and Delhi SG Pipers drop out. No third party interference.
The Lancers have Cooper Burns' services for themselves!
