Just 11 players of 66 were picked up in the IPL auction on Tuesday night. The following explains who went where and for what price:
Kieran Pollard (Mumbai Indians) - The explosive West Indies all-rounder had a base price of US$200, 000 and in a four-way bidding battle between Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata his price spiralled quickly up to the limit of US$750, 000. The Mumbai Indians eventually secured the services of the Trinidadian in a silent tie-breaker for an undisclosed sum.
Shane Bond ( Kolkata Knight Riders) - The Knight Riders sat back in the initial bidding stages for the New Zealander fast bowler as Chennai and Deccan fought it out. Kolkata eventually came to the party US$640,000 and won the silent tie-breaker against Deccan to secure Bond. Only the release of Australian captain Ricky Ponting before the auction enabled Kolkata their bargaining power.
