A very interesting answer to this question has emerged. However, when it comes to trade, let us tell you that the biggest trade in the history of the IPL has already taken place between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC). Rishabh Pant has once again returned to his old team Delhi with a huge contract of Rs >27 crore<
