The auction of players for IPL-4 is going on. The price of some players is going down due to their current performances or last performances in IPL session whereas some are becoming the pricy players of this session.
Yes, we are talking about the Indian opener Gautam Gambhir. This player has been purchased by Kolkata Knight Riders by auctioning 2.4 million dollars (near about 11.4 crore Indian rupees). He has also become the costliest cricketer of this IPL session in the auction that was done on Saturday. He was the captain of Delhi Daredevils in IPL 3.
Yusuf Pathan has also been purchased by Knight Riders in 2.1 million United States dollars where as Robin Uthappa is purchased by Pune team in the same amount. The price of Yuvraj Singh is evaluated at 1.8 million USD by Pune.
Many big and even many small cricketers have been purchased but to the surprise of everyone, none has purchased the Kolkata Knight Riders and Indian former captain Saurav Ganguly. Shocked? Yeah, it is true. Even this is shocking for Ganguly as well. Any team didn’t purchase this icon cricketer in the auction which is going on in the Bangalore. Even the Tennis Player Mahesh Bhupathi is also in great shock with this news about Saurav and wrote on his Twitter site that this is the biggest joke of Indian Premier League.
Harbhajan is still in Mumbai Indians whereas Andrew Symonds (Australia) is purchased for $850,000 by this team. Below is the required information
