Kumar Sangakkara $700,000, Mohali
Mohammad Yousuf unsold
The surprising thing is that Chennai seemed to have cocked a snoop at the other franchisees by bidding and winning Dhoni and Muralitharan.
The shock is that McGrath has no takers. The ICL litigation threat seemed to have stopped the franchisees from bidding for Yousuf.
Seriously, I don’t understand the logic behind the bidding for both Kumble and Harbhajan.
Another gut feeling is that Sanath Jayasuriya may turn out to be a pistol shooting blanks.
However, it is too early to make a call on the motivations or how the franchisees are building up their team.
