Seems it is auction day for this year's new and expanded IPL.
The old version seemed to last forever. This year's will make even the big bash look short and punchy.
-
Seems the teams are finally getting wiser on how the acquire players.
All players signed in this auction are receiving 3 years deals.
David Warner and Quinton de Kock picked up as ‘bargains’ at $850,000 per season. Obviously that’s less than what they previously had, i think Warner was around $1.5m at Sunrisers before they sacked him.
But after 3 years it’s still a guaranteed $2.5m! Not to be sniffed at!
-
Older players seem to also be receiving lower bids, also logical as you don’t want to be paying a late 30 year old over the top at the end of the 3 year cycle.
Shakib Al Hasan unsold bizarre.
Steven Smith unsold not a surprise
David Miller unsold he’s a good slogger to surprising.
-
Auctioneer just collapsed!!!
After Hasaranga's bidding went over 10 Crores.
Reports are saying it looks like he's going to be alright thank god.
-
Sounds like he's alright thankfully, always makes you worry when something like that happens.

Yep definitely.
Looks like their using a replacement auctioneer for the rest of the day, which is probably wise.

Some of the big earners:
Harshal Patel leading wicket taker in IPL 2021 - $1.33m. Good to see someone unheralded earn a big pay cheque.
KG Rabada $1.27m
Shreyas Iyer $1.62m - will become KKR captain
Jonny Bairstow $895k
Dinesh Karthik $729k
Ishan Kishan $2.02m - probably ends up as a franchise player for Mumbai once Rohit Sharma retires.
Mitch Marsh $862k reward for an outstanding T20 WC
Ambati Rayudu $895k - odd to commit nearly $2.7m on a 36 year old part time cricketer.
Washington Sundar $1.16m
Nicholas Pooran $1.42m - insane money…must help having Indian heritage!
Wanindu Hasaranga $1.42m - future superstar imo
David Warner $829k - big pay cut for the NSW slugger
Jason Holder $1.16m - good reward for a genuinely incredible person and fine player
-
Mark Wood $995k
Lochie Ferguson $1.32m
Josh Hazlewood $1.02m
-
South Africa’s u19 sensational Dewald Brevis picked up by Mumbai for $400k. He could be their 2022 Marco Jansen.
-
might be wrong subject to put this in but are the IPL rules on bats fitting through the gauge different. havent watched all of it but some of the bats looks enormous?

Sunrisers got a domestic bowler that’s melting the speed gun. Umran Malik been bowling rockets. Last game 156.9kph.

He bowls serious pace that is for sure but can also travel the distance. Pace is important (of course) but if you can't move the ball off the straight people will eventually use your pace against you. Look at Tymal Mills, very quick but his best ball is arguably his slower ball out the back of his hand.
