Sachin Tanwar is very happy
Gujarat Giants also signed Guman Singh for Rs 1.97 crore, but they will have to spend heavily on the second day of the auction to balance their team for the next season. After the auction, Sachin Tanwar expressed his happiness and said that he was surprised to get such a big bid from Tamil Thalaivas. Sachin Tanwar said that I thought I would get Rs 1.70-1.80 crore.
