Frankly they had a crap strategy (that was meant to finish 5th in the table) in the last two auctions. Glad they have improved a bit on buying the right players.

IPL Draft Feb 16.
- Thread starter brockley
- Start date
When the next time every player goes to draft (I believe it would be 2017), they should limit the squad to 25 players (keep 7 + 4 in starting XI as now) with 15 or 16 domestic minimum along with max salary and min salary caps.
Thanks.

India's 2007 T20 WC hero Joginder Sharma goes unsold, as do dozens of other players.
McClenaghan goes for 300,000 INR to MI, another bargain Kiwi, while Kyle Abbot went for the same price to CSK. However the younger, less experienced Gurinder Sandhu went for 17 million rupees to DD after RR backed out of a bidding contest. Could his Indian ancestry have something to do with it?
RP Singh another notable former-Indian Test quick going unsold. Sudeep Tyagi had a great IPL and a few ODIs for India as a result many years ago; this year he can't find a team.

McClenaghan is a proven ODI performer though.
Perhaps availability had a role in it too. Might be worried about Williamson and the other Kiwis not being available for the whole tournament due to international commitments, + possibly choosing to be loyal to their domestic teams in the Champions League.

Shreyas Iyer drawing lots of attention. Bidding has crossed a million rupees.

Southee was already part of RR and thus not up for auction.

I meant it in the sense that his junior partner was taking in about 6x his salary. Was a joke. I'm funny dammit!

They are using Lakhs and Crores on the IPL site. I'm converting to millions here for the sake of the non-Indian posters.
Iyer went for a whopping 26 million rupees; more than what CSK paid for Mussey or Sunrisers paid for KP.
Even odder was uknown 34 year old spinner Kishan Cariappa going for 24 million rupees to KKR after a bidding war with DD. These people clearly know something we don't.
17 year old Sarfraz Khan was another notable purchase, going for 500,000 rupees to RCB after starting at 100,000. RCB also picked up Milne for 700,000 rupees. Smart buy IMO.\
Couple of other domestic bats and bowlers going for around base price to cap off the morning session.

Ravi Bopara gets bought but Alex Hales doesn't. To quote the Pixies 1997 hit; 'Where is my mind?'
It's outrageous that anyone would sign Bopara over literally anyone.

Turns out the mystery spinner Kishan Cariappa is actually only 20 years old, and has risen to prominence through the Karnataka local T20 league.
Who is KC Cariappa, the mystery spinner snapped up by KKR for Rs2.4 crore - Livemint
Should be interesting to see him in action, especially given the BCCIs intention on clamping down on suspect actions.

He has also played for Karnataka U-19s. Karnataka are the strongest side in Ranji ATM, and are a pretty difficult team to break in to.
