IPL Auction discussion thread

[alfy!]

I believe this is starting any minute now. Live chat here on CricInfo. Team builder that updates here.

Thoughts on who will go for the most cash? Pietersen?

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Corey Anderson will probably go big and given the local quota that teams have to fufill there will be a few overpriced Indians.

Indeed. I hope Simmons gets a big pay day too, that'd be quality.

This is a good article on who will get pay cuts, who will debut and which players are missing.

Vijay first player auctioned. It's a bit confusing this year because it's in rupees.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Jayawardene unsold.

can somebody explain the currency to me, Vijay went for 500, is that a lot?

 

[evdo1706]

1 Lac=100,000

US$1 million= 600L INR so that's not much.

Delhi Daredevils retain KP under the new right to match rule.

 

[evdo1706]

KP 900L pretty cheap I'd say, he's available for the whole season.

 

[alfy!]

$1.5 million for KP, after Dehli matches the winning bid. Not a bad pay day.

This will be my first year following the IPL. The money here is blowing my mind. Murali Vijay, not exactly a world-beater, will be getting paid $800000 for a couple months work? Unbelievable.

Maxwell got a million last season, Richardson got $700k. David Hussey got $1.4 million a couple of seasons ago. Players regularly went for over a million. Insane stuff.

 

[Shade]

Yuvraj getting that cash money.

 

[evdo1706]

Yuvraj about $2.3 million, overpriced but has a strong brand value.

 

[alfy!]

Kallis surely goes for big cash...

He was pretty cheap actually

 

[evdo1706]

wtf is this matching bid.

 

[alfy!]

Just under a million. Good buy, although I'm not sure I understand why KKR were in a bidding war with Chennai, only to drop out and match it later.

 

[evdo1706]

Sehwag almost unsold lol
