Originally from Gumla, Robin Minz was first scouted by Mumbai Indians in July this year who then selected the young wicket-keeper batter for Mumbai Indians’ UK tour. Robin ,who is yet to represent Jharkhand in Ranji trophy, sparked a bidding war between Mumbai, Chennai, Gujarat and Hyderabad at the auction. Gujarat Titans emerged as the highest bidder as they swooped the 20-year-old for 3.6 crore.
