Mark Taylor, the former Australian cricketer, was a tad surprised after Steve Smith opted to play in the 2021 IPL after a contract of INR 2.2 crores from the Delhi Capitals. In the auction, Smith had a base price of INR 2 crores and DC was one of the two teams to bid on him. Taylor reckoned that a player of Smith’s stature deserved a bigger contract and he didn’t get what he deserved.
