Its known that Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh emerged as the costliest cricketer in the IPL 8 players’ auction. Yuvi bought for a record Rs 16 crore (USD 2.57 million approx) by Delhi Daredevils.

Yuvraj Singh, who carried a base price of Rs 2 crore, was sold for the highest ever price in IPL history after a fierce tug of war between Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challengers Bangalore. But Yuvraj singh and his team Delhi daredevils failed miserably in IPL 8 and not qualified for play-offs.

Yuvraj totally scored mere 248 runs. His 248 runs came at a poor average of 19.07 and strike rate of 118.09. Yuvi was at No. 29 on the list of season's top scorers. Now some cricket enthusiastic started calculating the earnings of Yuvraj per run.

If one were to break down what Delhi ended paying him for each run, the figure comes to $13,347. Yes Yuvraj Singh earned $13,347 (852205.28 Indian Rupees) for each run he scored in IPL 8. Strange but fact..
