Set 1 coming up

[zen]

Ambanis appear to be praying to have a good auction.

[Lord]

There's already a thread for IPL auction

[zen]

Agent @Mariyam are you going to secretly spoil Ambanis’ auction?

[zen]

DC’s motu is probably back to his bidding on almost any player game as well  …  will spoil a few teams’ budget!

This is for GT

[zen]

GT bidding on Rabada … Motu is quiet 

 

RCB bidding as well

MI bids as well

7.75 MI

8.00 GT

8.50 RCB

…

10.25 GT

10.50 RCB

…
10.75 GT 

 

Rabada becomes first player at the auction to go to GT.

 

[zen]

As expected, GT is bidding on Buttler … RR is bidding as well

 

9.00 GT

9.25 RR

9.75 PK

…

13.75 LSG

…

15.75 GT

 

As I had said, Buttler will likely end up at GT  

 

 

[zen]

GT bid seriously on 3 players so far. Lost Arshdeep to PK (probably not worth 18), and won Rabada and Buttler.

 

Did not bid for Pant, probably knowing he would be an expensive buy - currently, the highest paid at the auction at 27. 

[zen]

Set 2 up  

[zen]

GT is bidding for Miller … RCB and Motu are also interested 

 

7.50 LSG

 

[zen]

GT let both Shami (SRH) and Miller (LSG) go. Did not use RTM.

 

Now bidding for Chahal. CSK in as well. 
 

11.00 PK

11.25 LSG

…

14.00 PK

14.25 RCB

14.75 SRH

…

17.75 SRH

18.00 PK @Lord

[zen]

Now GT is bidding for Siraj. CSK in as well. 
 

8.25 GT

8.50 RR

…

12.25 GT

 

[zen]

Set 3 coming up soon … GT’s remaining budget is around 30. On avg, spent 13 on each player in the marquee sets. 

[Lord]

Looking good except Siraj

He would be bowling on a pace friendly surface with a relatively good bounce. For pace bowlers, it is like a dream to be playing 7 games at A’bad.

[zen]

Bidding for Harshal 

 

4.20 GT

4.40 SRH

…

6.75 SRH

 

PK uses RTM.

 

8.0 SRH
