wtf is this matching bid. :eek:
Right to Match cards: None of the previous auctions had this feature. A Right to Match card allows a franchise to buy back a player that was part of its 2013 squad by simply matching the price at which that player is sold at the auction. The franchises have a varying number of Right to Match cards going into the auction, depending on the number of players they retained. A team that retained three or more players will have one card at the auction; a team that retained one or two players will have two cards; a team that did not retain any players will have three cards.

A Right to Match card can be used in the following manner: once the auctioneer has determined that there are no further bids for a player, he will declare the player sold. He will then ask the franchise the player belonged to in 2013 whether they wish to buy him back using a Right to Match card. If they do, then they will get the player back for the final bid made in the auction and no further bidding is possible.

However, a franchise may retain no more than four capped Indian players through a combination of player retention and Right to Match cards.

See here for lists of who has how many rights to match cards.

Sorry if this is a stupid question

What happens to Mahela now?

I think he would be placed at a lower base price for a second round. But I doubt he would get sold. The Sri Lankans have a really tight schedule. That's why Sanga withdrew his name from the auctions.
