Uthappa is setting himself up to go the Badrinath route.  Big mistake for him to set his base price so high.  Better to keep it half of that, and let teams bid it up.  At least that gives him maximum chances of getting selected.  

high chances teams will go in a bidding war for him still , Indian player thats to a versatile n established t20 player is like gold . Someone like yuvraj in his decline n who doesnt have a gr8 IPL record went for 14-16 cr

Yuvraj was a six hitter who bats in the middle order, and bowled a bit.  Robin is an opener.  There are at least 10 Indian players who can open for IPL teams - guys like Surya, Parthiv, even that no-name dude from RR.  Easily 5-6 available Indian players who can fill that kind of role.

at that time yuvraj wasnt bowling much

Robin has batted for KKR at 3 n 4 in last few years and for India even at 6,7 and he keeps as well .....so someone like RCB can be intersted. Even CSK like Old player so even CSK can bid. KXIP need good indian batsman to so Even they can go and their coach is kumble

 

But robin wnt compete with Surya n parthiv as they are already bought.

This IPL auction few indian are in auction like Robin, Piyush chawla, unadkat....i feel they ll all get good bids

you know what your problem is?  you argue for the sake of arguing.  

 

Case can be made for and against, Robin.  Just like Badrinath was one of the better middle order batsmen around in the IPL, when his career ended prematurely due to an unnecessarily high bid price.  After a certain age, teams will not want to overpay for past performers on the downswing, especially if their price is too high.  They will happily overbid for a younger player, but not for an older one.  In Yuvi's case, his name recognition and brand carried a certain value, and there's always a shortage of Indian batsmen who can hit a lot of 6s.  Robin has made his IPL bones batting in the top order, not lower. I wish him luck, but its a dumb move to set a high base price on his part.

Badrinath didnt even have a half a success as robin uthappa in ipl. Uthappa has been a top ipl player. Neither badrinath was seen as a game changer. UthappaJust been struggling for 1-2 yr with form. In last few yrs in kkr its been lynn n narine opening so uthappa has been playing at 3 n 4 . His avg are better at 3 4 then open.

 

Take yusuf pathan example - gets sold every time ...highly inconsistent very poor in field. Still he has buyer and i wnt be surprised if he gets this year as well.

 

Take bhajji example, he wasnt playing much cricket but kept his base price 2 cr and got sold to CSK for Base price by which he assured a good amount coming. Indian experienced player are always of high value 

 

Lets see how does he do in auction. I have a feeling he ll fetch a good price
