IPL Auction is underway. After Pat Cummins has set a record price for the IPL of A$3.67 million, there is some relatively massive bidding currently underway for Daryl Mitchell - back of an envelope maths from me makes it well north of NZ$2 million at the moment...

Rachin Ravindra became a Chennai Super King earlier for circa NZ$350k.

Apparently Ravindra set his reserve pre ODI WC. Bargain.

Starc goes for a record price

Good to see Fleming continues to select Kiwi cricketers.

Mitchell's reserve wasn't much higher than Ravindra's. Ravindra had a few bids, but seemed to only be between a couple of teams. Mitchell just kept going and going. At 32 that's a great payday for Mitch, I guess Ravindra has plenty of time to prove his worth.

Cummins and Starc between them could probably buy a few sporting teams now.

Always interesting to see what the teams are thinking. Ravindra might have gone relatively cheap, yet Steve Smith got no bids at all.

@Donsteppa

Yeah, he may have gone cheap but it is all relative of course.

This is his biggest payday in his life so far.

So much has happened so quickly for him that it is probably
A good thing that he didn’t go for a big $ number that brings a lot of expectation with it.

He has plenty of years ahead of him to earn a fortune playing
Cricket. Good for him!

Jamieson syndrome.

So CSK have Flem as a coach and Conway, Mitchel and Ravindra. Who's their 4th overseas player? Think they are only allowed 4?

[JK]

Mooen Ali isnt it? think he is still there.

I dont have any IPL team allegiance but CSK will def be my team to follow for this IPL.

[Machpants]

So is that what the player gets, or is it a transfer fee type thing?

Yep. Just had a look and they have Santner as well. Flem doing his bit for the woeful NZ economy.

They ditched Stokes and Jamieson from overseas ranks.

[Bovidae]

It looks like you can have up to 8 overseas players in your squad but there is a limit of 4 in your playing XI.
