Every IPL throws up some big surprises and this time it is no different. Imagine shelling out more than 11 crore rupees for a single player for IPL season. This time the player prices hit the record and Gautam Gambhir got the maximum price for himself (about 11.4 crores) followed by Yusuf Pathan at 9.4 crore rupees! And both of them went to Kolkata Knight Riders ! SRK seems to be a determined man this time around and he got the players he wanted!
There was an interesting thing about this IPL 4 auctions – Indian players were much in demand. I just happened to see the auction and was surprised to see that Swann, who is regarded as one of the best spinners in the world went unsold, while likes of Piyush Chawla and Amit sharma got bidding close to 3-4 crore rupees ! IPL franchisees seem to be fielding young Indian players more than seasoned International players !
You can never say what will happen with these IPL auctions, can you ?
