Steve Smith fails to get attract bids from 10 franchises

Former Australia captain Steve Smith too went unsold. Once a millionaire and one of the most sought-after players, the right-hand batter failed to get a paddle among the 10 franchises. During the last year’s mega auction also Smith got only two bids from RCB and DC. This time though we won’t see the charismatic batter in action. Apart from Smith, even David Miller and Shakib-Al Hasan went unsold.

IPL AUCTION LIVE UPDATES – 1ST SET SOLD: R Ashwin / Trent Boult / Pat Cummins / Quinton De Kock / Shikhar Dhawan / Faf DuPlessis / Shreyas Iyer / Kagiso Rabada / Mohammad Shami / David Warner.

  • After 1st set of players MI, SRH & CSK yet to buy a player in AUCTION
  • David Warner: Goes to Delhi Capitals for 6.25 CR
  • Quinton De Kock: de Kock sold to Lucknow for 6.75 crores. That’s a bit of a steal of a price. Opening batter, left-hander, the wicketkeeper, proven performer. Surprisingly MI did not go big for him.
  • Faf Du Plessis: Will CSK get active? No, it is RCB who gets him for 7 CRORE. No AB de Villiers, but his schoolmate will be there.
  • Mohammed Shami: Gujarat Titans gets him for 6.25 CR / GREAT BUY.
  • Shreyas Iyer: KKR gets Iyer for 12.25 Cr / Highest BID of the DAY – Little last-minute fight from GT. KKR HAVE probably sealed their captain too with that bid.
  • Trent Boult: Rajasthan Royals gets Boult for 8 Cr
  • Kagiso Rabada – 9.25 Cr to Punjab Kings / Delhi slide out at 8 crores, but Punjab take up the baton. Punjab make their second big splash.
  • Pat Cummins – KKR for 7.25 CR / Stays with his old franchise at half the price. Still considerable. Just short of a dollar millionaire.
  • Ashwin SOLD to Rajasthan Royals for 5 CR
  • Shikhar Dhawan is sold to Punjab Kings for 8.25 crore.
