Sharukh khan & Preity Zinta at IPL auction meet. India’s Twenty20 World Championship-winning captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was at $1.5 million the most expensive of the 77 cricketers auctioned for the maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) here Wednesday.
The name of the dashing Dhoni, who is leading India in the Commonwealth Bank Triangular Series, came under the hammer as his city Ranchi is not among the eight franchise cities bidding for players in the Twenty20 IPL, beginning April 18. The Chennai Super Kings snapped him up for the highest bid.
Both Indians and foreigners were sold at the day-long auction, at which some of the best known names from Bollywood and business fraternity were present, less than two months before the first match is played in Bangalore.
Andrew Symonds was the second most expensive player, the Deccan Chronicle Hyderabad team picking the Australian all-rounder for $1.35 million
