Jhye Richardson was signed by the Punjab Kings at the IPL 2021 auction.

Australian fast bowler Jhye Richardson fetched a whopping IPL contract after he was signed by the Punjab Kings for Rs 14 crore. The 24-year-old had a stellar Big Bash League for Perth Scorchers. He was the leading wicket taker with 29 scalps. It has been a remarkable return for Richardson, who suffered a career-threatening dislocated shoulder in 2019.

Our correspondents Vijay Lokapally, Shayan Acharya and Wriddhaayan Bhattacharyya discuss the men's side's season thus far and what to look forward to in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.
