Who would you recruit for the IPL in the January auction?

[Daemon]

This is an obscene amount of money for someone who just got dropped from the Indian team.

 

[Contra]

would love Yuvi to be in RCB.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

That's INR 10 crore, or INR 1000 lakh, or INR 100000000 just to make thinks simple and as uncomplicated as possible.

 

[benchmark00]

Some serious crore being thrown around here.

 

[Blocky]

I think IPL would actually be better if it were truly international, i.e no limits on teams.

Watching someone like Yuvraj go for 1400 lakh just makes me laugh, the only reason is the need for seven Indians per side.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Hahaha, well done KKR. Making them pay an extra $800,000 after the hammer went down the first time.

 

[Athlai]

RCB spend half of their budget on Yuvraj. Youch.

 

[Jarquis]

14 for Yuvraj? crore blimey that's a lot of money for an average player these days

 

[Blocky]

Glad to see the King is at least getting over 500k, looked bad for a while there.

 

[Athlai]

CSK have the least money by a long way. They want the value of Kallis

 

[Blocky]

LOL at KKR, they effectively bid up the price they were going to pay for Kallis there.

 

[Athlai]

KKR Powerplay Kallis right back.

Redonkulous

 

[Contra]

Viru for RCB! Would love that as well.

 

[Daemon]

Sehwag ****ing good value here

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Wait on, so KKR and CSK get in a bidding war, then KKR just use their rights to match card?



You'd think any sane person would just not push the price up, then use the card.

 

[Blocky]

Sehwag almost went unsold, while Yuvi gets 1400 lakh.

 

[benchmark00]

Kallis went for around half a crore.

They were hoping they didn't need to waste their RTM card obv. Now they only have 1 left.

Obv wanted to save the card if possible.

It's possible they had a certain amount they were willing to pay just to keep the card for someone else.
