It’s no secret that at the IPL 2024 auction, Gujarat Titans got their star player Robin Minz. He was signed on the team for an expensive INR 3.6 crores. Gujarat Titans were the champions for the previous IPL season. During the IPL 2024 auction, Minz had many teams gunning to sign him on, says IPLCricBet reports. The bidding war involved Mumbai Indians, Dhoni’s CSK and Gujarat Titans.

What you should know about Robin Minz?

Before getting into the details about the accident, here is what you should know about the talented young cricketer. Robin is an uncapped wicket batter and the first indigenous Indian (Adivasi) to feature in the world’s richest T20 league. The cricketer’s hometown is in Shimal village, Jharkhand’s Gumla district.

Unfortunate accident with Robin Minz

Robin got into a bike accident on Saturday, 2nd March. Currently, he is under observation. Robin’s superbike Kawasaki got hit with another bike. It skidded and lost control when he was returning home. Robin’s father Francis shares that he had a narrow escape, according to the doctors.

According to Francis’ statement to Aaj Tak, his words were “Yesterday, when he was on his way back home, his bike skidded and Robin had a narrow escape. The bike is a bit damaged but Robin is alright.”
News18 reported that the star player had bruises on his right knee. While the injuries are not serious, it is yet to be seen if he will participate in the IPL matches.

Interaction between MS Dhoni and Robin’s father

In the knockout match, Robin played a knock of 137 in the elite tournament. But his performance went in vain because Karnataka still advanced to the next round. As reported by starpunternews, he entered the IPL 2024 auction with a base price of INR 20 lakh.

However, not many people know that Francis (Robin’s father) had an interaction with Mahendra Singh Dhoni. This took place before the auction at Ranchi airport. MS Dhoni told him, “If no one picks him, we will.”

However, as luck would have it, Gujarat Titans won the intense bidding war after defeating CSK and MI. They finally got the Ranchi star at an expensive INR 3.6 crore.
