January 27, 2018 10:18
The first player up for grabs at the IPL Auction is Shikhar Dhawan with a base price of Rs. 2 crore.
Kings XI Punjab make the opening bid before Rajasthan Royals come into the picture but his previous franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad are not interested so far.
In no time, his price doubles to Rs. 4 crore.
Just when it looked Kings XI Punjab had bagged the player after Rajasthan had backed out, Mumbai Indians jumped into the fray.
The bid goes well past the 5-crore mark but Punjab eventually bag the player at 5.2 crore.
And Sunrisers Hyderabad jump in at the last moment as they use the Right to Match option to retain their former opener Dhawan.
RTM: The franchises are allowed to retain five players with either three through direct retention or three through Right to Match cards that will be used during the auctions. Teams can only use a maximum of three RTMs, regardless of the number of players they managed to retain in the aforementioned lists submitted to the BCCI on January 4.
