AFRIDI NOT SOLD!

12:10 IST: Bidding starts! Shahid Afridi is the first name in Round One with a base price of USD 250,000. And surprise, surprise, Afridi is not picked up. That didn't even take two minutes to decide. And if this is the case with Afridi, there's not much of a chance that the other Pakistani players will have.

This is the first tiebreaker in the auction. They have five minutes to decide how much extra they will bid for, except that this money will go into the IPL's kitty and not to Pollard's bank account.

Time to pick three cricketers of the under-19 Indian team. There is no auction for these players and it goes by a draw of balls. The U-19 players have a fixed price of USD 16,000.

KAIF BROUGH BACK, PUNJAB BUY

With a base price of USD 100,000, Kaif is brought back into the bidding. That's because Indian players cannot be bought outside the auction. And Kings XI Punjab has bought him for USD 250,000.

Lessons:The teams have been conservative and have been cautious in their bidding. They are only looking to put their money on players who will play the maximum part of the season. Lessons learnt from the last two seasons.

TWO SLOTS FOR RAJASTHAN

Chennai, Deccan, Rajasthan and Punjab are the only teams who can bid now as they have both the money and the places left. Rajasthan can pick two players, while others will pick one each.

Sulieman Benn, the Windies bowler, has an opening bid of USD 100,000. And there's no taker for him as well. The team's surely know whom and whom not to put their money on.

No bids for Tyron Henderson and it's time to pass him as well.

CHENNAI BUY PERERA

Sri Lanka's Thushara Perera, base price of USD 50,000 and Chennai bids for him and wins him easily.

Roby Kleinveldt of South Africa is not sold as well.

Pakistan all-rounder Rana Naved ul Hasan has a base price of USD 100,000. And the answer is NO!

Australia's Ashley Noffke has a base price of USD 20,000. Alas! He's not sold.

New Zealand's Grant Elliot is not picked up as well.

Jason Krejza is first up at USD 50,000 and no one's bidding. Johann Van der Wath joins him.

Time for the next pool and this is the pool for bowling all-rounders
