Tyron Henderson

Tyron Henderson was bought by the Rajasthan Royals for $650,000. Yusuf Pathan retains the spot for most expensive player.

Rajasthan had paid only $450,000 for Shane Warne and $475,000 for Graeme Smith last year. They did not get Henderson, 34, without a fight!
The Deccan Chargers kept bidding until the $600,000 mark.  

So what’s so special about him? Very simply, he’s the highest wicket-taker in Twenty20 matches, with 74 wickets in 62 games at an average of 21 and an economy rate below seven. He’s played for the Cape Cobras in South Africa, and Middlesex in England, and is nicknamed ‘The Blacksmith’.

Also – his wife is my wedding caterer and venue organiser for my wedding 🙂
