Was a physical fall apparently. Tripped and fell. He's okay.

Shakib unsold at base price of 2 crore. Unsurprising given recent issues. I suspect he'll be picked up for a lower price later on. Miller unsold at 1 cr, but is carving it up in the CSA T20 challenge right now, so I presume he'll nab a contract too. Raina will probably be picked up by CSA later as well.

Really liking how RR is shaping up. Ashwin and Boult are fantastic picks, and hopefully Hety comes good. Devdutt too. Fun squad, plenty of reason to watch.

Hasaranga is also gathering plenty of attention, which is great to see. It's been a good auction, the franchises are all buying smart and putting together good teams.

I mean even the Windies who have a casual outlook to cricket dropped Hetmyer for his fitness reasons and here he gets bought for such a high price while Miller (who is a much better fielder) goes unsold. It's baffling at how much RR paid for him.

Sanga's reaction said everything too while RR was bidding for Hetty.

Good little bidding war here for Sundar. Titans have been insistent, it looks like Capitals have just jumped in to bleed them dry hahaha.

Ishan Kishan just got paaaiiidddd

Mumbai blowing the bank on him haha. They really want to build around him, interested to see which younger players they invest in later on.

Did not expect Pooran to get this much interest.

Harshal Patel went for 10.75 back to RCB. Bit overpriced but a good signing I think. Probably won't replicate his first season but is a good young prospect to invest in.

RR got Prasidh Krishna w00t. What a team. Loving it. Deepak Chahar getting paaiiddd as predicted.

Did Paul Stirling get picked up?

Been really consistent over last few years and would be first ever Irish player picked up for any franchise.

Charu Sharma has done a fantastic job tbh. Bit of a slow start but settled well into the rhythm

This has been a loonngg day. Franchises have generally bought well, some bidding wars but otherwise the teams are all shaping up nicely.

Whatever it takes!!!
I still think Royals nosed ahead as far as the day goes but I think they wasted a bid by going for DDP. They already had their top 4 sorted and should have shopped for a #5/6 instead.

Charu Sharma was amazing because I really dont think auctions are much of a thing in India and definitely not in Indian sports and I think this must be the first time he has ever done one, but he did an amazing job and deserved that long sustained applause he got at the other end.

Not all. SRH sucked. This is by far the worst auction I've ever seen any team have.

People said that about CSK in 2018. They are going with a strategy. I mean, it could end up sucking but its a clear strategy. I felt quite often Punjab Kings and maybe even Lucknow and Gujarat did not have one. Same with KKR.

There is no defending the strategy SRH went in with today. Totally appalling.

You literally let Warner and Bairstow leave and the big players you signed are Pooran and Rahul Tripathi. All this while buying back the inexperienced and mediocre core of Abhishek Sharma, Garg, Suchith and retaining Samad.

SRH KKR are worst ATM..
For DC that bald guy stole the show. Already a legend now I think.. F***d every franchise today that dude.
DC have a fit n firing XI now. Marsh Warner Kuldeep legendary steals even Sarfaraz.

SRH needs to target Miller & U19 A/R Raj Bawa & Hangargekar to salvage something.

KKR needs a wicket keeper... Wade vs Seifert. I'll go with Wade as he can play both pace & spin & bat down the order.

There's better keepers then wade in the pool, Glenn phillips is a much better buy then wade or seirfet for KKR both short and long term. Dc's buying was great, top 4 o 1.Shaw 2.Warner 3.Marsh 4.Pant sounds DANGEROUS, that and a solid bowling lineup, there middle/lower order is a bit barren between 5-7, but they've also got batdeep already and 12 slots left. Hopefully they can win a title this year.
