I am very happy that I am the first player to cross the one crore mark and will be joining my second home. I look forward to an action packed exciting season and hope that I can take my team to the finals. I had a great season last year and was expecting a good bid for the auction. However, crossing the one crore mark was very surprising for me. I would love to buy a new home and a car with this money that I have earned.
