Bevon-John Jacobs: The unknown Kiwi cricketer who picked up an IPL contract

View descriptionShare

Unprecedented scenes under the gavel at the Indian Premier League cricket auction in Saudi Arabia.

A 13-year-old has become the competition's youngest recruit, but several top Black Caps have missed out.

Left-hand bat and spinner Vaibhav Suryavanshi was picked up by Rajasthan for 223 thousand dollars - for context, he was born the same week India won the 2011 50-over World Cup at home.

Four more New Zealanders have sold, joining Trent Boult, Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway.

Glenn Phillips has gone to Gujarat, Mitchell Santner will join Mumbai and Lockie Ferguson is set to play for Punjab - each went for 406 thousand dollars.

Uncapped Auckland batter Bevon-John Jacobs has been recruited by Mumbai for 61 thousand dollars.

Previous big-earners Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell and Kyle Jamieson missed out.
