Mornie Morkel to KKR; RV Kumar sold to KKR; Praveen Kumar unsold; Umesh Yadav to KKR; Bangalore get Ravi Rampaul; Shami to Delhi; Sunrisers get B Kumar and Ishant; Ashok Dinda, Mitchell Starc to Bangalore
KKR finally built up a head of steam and along with the Sunrisers beefed up their bowling attack.
Indian bowlers not inspiring a lot of faith.... and the billions of Indian fans probably agree after their display against New Zealand.
West Indian Ravi Rampaul sold for Rs90 lakh. Really.
Ravi Rampaul is cheaper than a ............... fill in the blanks and tweet us @Emirates247
Interesting that Sunrisers are using this lot to build their bowling, picking up both Bhuvi Kumar and Ishant, though Kumar cost them more.
Fast bowlers on now...
All rounders: Shakib Al Hassan to KKR; Albie Morkel sold to Bangalore; Kings XI Punjab buy Thisara Perera; KKR keep hold of Yusuf Pathan; Steve Smith to Rajasthan; Shocker: Azhar Mahmood, Dilshan, Angelo Matthews, David Hussey unsold!
There must be an issue with the Lankan players' schedules as Dilshan also goes unsold.
Ross Taylor unsold is one thing, Angelo Matthews and David Hussey are quite another, unless of course, there is a problem with their schedules.
What did Preity Zinta eat for brekfast? Apart from looking delightful in white her team Punjab is snapping up players like this is the last IPL ever... which if you consider all the behind-the-scenes murkiness going on, is not such a far-fetched thought.
Punjab literally creating a completely new team... now buying Thisara Perera.
Wicketkeepers' auction: Perera unsold; Craig Kieswetter unsold; Matthew Wade unsold; Parthiv Patel to RCB; Punjab buy Saha, Quinton de Kock to Delhi Naman Ojha unsold
Punjab still staying agressive, picking up Saha from among the keepers.
All unsold players will go on auction again tomorrow.
Tweet of the hour:Jacques Kallis @jacqueskallis75
And back to my home in India it is. Kolkata in a few months time for IPL. Glad to be going back to KKR. @KKRiders
Block 2 of players done.
Dwayne Smith sold to Chennai SuperKings; Manoj Tiwari to Delhi; Shaun Marsh to Punjab; Rajasthan keep Hodge; Uthappa to KKR; JP Duminy to Delhi; Pujara to Punjab; Finch to Sunrisers; Ross Taylor unsold.
All teams started with Rs60 crore. Will have to spend wisely now.
16 players minimum squad, 27 players maximum.
Second set of players done and Punjab ruled again... buying whoever they can, really, or maybe they do have a plan.
Kolkata Knight Riders finally come to the party and get Pune's Robin Uthappa for their first player of the auction.
Punjab continue their agressive buying, netting Cheteshwar Pujara to add to their impressive kitty.
Marquee block 1 done.
Zaheer Khan plays for Mumbai Indians; Amit Mishra stays with Sunrisers; Mike Hussey to Mumbai; Karthik to Delhi; Faf Du Plessis to Chennai; Sammy to Sunrisers; Bailey to Punjab; Johnson to Punjab; Warner to Sunrisers; Sehwag for Punjab; Kallis goes to KKR; Yuvraj sold for Rs1,400 lakh to RCB; Pietersen sold to Delhi Daredevils; Murali Vijay to Punjab
Indian players on the marquee list definitely commanding the bucks.
Dinesh Karhik goes for Rs1,250 lakh to Delhi... Mumbai let another one go.
Mumbai seems to be driving player prices up and then backing out. Faf Du Plessis goes to Chennai in the end.
Punjab going crazy at the auction here.. picking up Sehwag, Johnson and now Bailey.... and of course Murali Vijay.
Vijay Mallya, who by now is the master of ducking tough questions, explains his paying oif Rs1,400 lakh for Yuvi by talking about Bangalore's bowling!
And it’s time for a break with the marquee players proving excitement enough to set the tone for the rest of the auction.
Why did Mumbai let Mitchell Johnson go?
Is Yuvraj really worth more than Kevin Pietersen?
Mahela Jayawardena going unsold, probably because of his availability.
Tweet us what you think of the above... @Emirates247
Tweet of the hour: CSK IS THE FC BARCELONA OF IPL, they'll regain their fortress back :-) Román @number10role now
Session One
Mitchell Johnson sold to KXIP for Rs650 lakh. Will Mumbai buy him back at that amount using their 'Right to Match' card? They decide not to!
Warner started off slowly but picked up as Mumbai and Hyderabad went head to head. With Warner in Mumbai, we could see two players prone to punch-ups in the same team - Harbhajan and Warner.
What a fight that would be!
If money was ever an indicator of a player's career being over Virender Sehwag should wake up and hear the auctioneer.
After Yuvi's amazing value at Rs1,400 lakh, Sehwag goes for a paltry Rs320 lakh.
Kallis goes to KKR at Rs550 lakhs.
Bangalore had to pay much more for Yuvraj... Rs1,400 lakh and Vijay Mallya does not look pleased.
Confusion over Yuvraj. Bidder sells Yuvi to RCB for Rs1,000 lakh, but KKR say their hand was raised.
Turns out he could not see the KKR paddle. Re-opens bidding at Rs1,000 lakh.
Pietersen sold to Delhi Darevdeils for Rs900 lakh.
Where the IPL is there goes the Bollywood bandwagon. First actor to crash the party? Ranbir Kapoor. Pepsi tweets he is their first intern at the auction.
What's your view on the auction? Have your say as we report it 'live' and we will carry your tweets here.
Tweet us @Emirates247
More facts for the people who like facts... which the IPL as a sporting franchise always seems to have two versions of.. but, players are divided into 53 sets. Set numero uno is Marquee 1 or M1 - consists of the biggest stars.
2 big questions? Will Mumbai Indians get Kevin Pietersen, is it time for MS Dhoni to leave Chennai Super Kings?
Auction starts at 9:30 am and man on the mic will be Richard Madley, who has been the man on the mic since IPL 1 in 2008.
In about 30 minutes from now the next edition of the Indian Premier League will kick off… with the annual jamboree of the players’ auction. Among the 514 players on offer, this year some of the biggest global and Indian stars will be under the hammer.
And by under the hammer we mean not just for the auction.
Indian captain MS Dhoni’s name has cropped up far too many in an ongoing IPL corruption probe. Kevin Pietersen’s ‘dumping’ by the ECB has divided the nation of England.
But which team will unite to get him for IPL 7?
