IPL Auction 2017

[Big Jacko]

About to kick off, with the likes of Stokes, Johnson, Morgan, Roy, Tahir etc up for grabs

 

[mugiwara]

RCB and MI are bidding for Stokes. He will be the costliest buy this auction.

 

[mugiwara]

Ben Stokes sold for RPSG for whopping 14.5 Crores ! Whoa !! That's 2.82 million AUD

 

[Big Jacko]

Insane. In comparison Corey Anderson only went for 1 crore

Tymal Mills for 12 crores by RCB. That's a very costly buy.

Very expensive IMO. Not worth it

 

[PrideOf]

Cummins got 400 lakh, Johnson 200.

That's $800k for Patty. Not a bad result for him.

And Ishant Sharma went to a Pakistani rice farmer who wanted to keep black birds out of his paddy fields.

Yup. But they needed one fast bowlers as Starc left RCB. They could have gone for Pat Cummins instead.

Delhi bought Pat and they have way too many fast bowlers. Zaheer, Shami, Rabada, Cummins, Morris, Braithwaite, Corey Anderson, Matthews. That's a lot for one team.

And Johnoson goes for MI. RCB should have got Johnson or Pat Cummins.

Tymal Mills for 12 crores by RCB. That's a very costly buy.

Good live blog of it.

Hope so. But 12 crores is very costly. They need him to perform well to win the IPL. He will be in lot of pressure. Batting is freaking good. Bowling is where RCB lacks.

I wish RCB had got Cummins.

Imran Tahir is unsold ? That's horrible. He is the best LO bowler !

Yes Cummins or even Rabada probably better options but I love Mills so RCB have new fan

Nabi becomes the first Afghan player to be a part of the IPL.

 

[the universal]

Nabi becomes the first Afghan player to be a part of the IPL.

Hoping Shahzad finds his way to an IPL team too. Competition will be for the better with him.

He remain unsold, sadly.

But Afghan's Rashid Khan is the next player to be sold for 4 crores.

Says a lot about the state of world cricket tbh.

Better than Cummins although still a massive overpayment

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Remember the year that Dan Christian went for $850 000? Weird s**t happens at IPL auctions. I can't see how Ben Stokes was worth what he went for either. His fielding will be his strongest thing.

Mind you, his fielding is bloody good.

Mills better than Cummins. The word delusional comes to mind.
