Kolkata, Dec 20: BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has justified the whopping price for which Pat Cummins was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), saying it was because of the "high demand" for the leading Australian pacer that saw him bag a jackpot at the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL) auction.

At the IPL auction which take place on Thursday evening, Cummins was bought by KKR for Rs15.5 crore, which made him the most expensive foreign bid ever in IPL history.
