Deepak Chahar, the all-rounder, has returned to Chennai, but only after a bidding war for a hefty Rs 14 crore. Earlier, Shreyas Iyer, who was expectedly one of the highest-paid players among the marquee set, became one of the highest-paid players within the marquee set after Kolkata Knight Riders bid Rs 12.25 crore.
