IPL 8 Auction: Yuvraj Singh sold for Rs 16 Crore

Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who was the ‘Man of the Series’ at 2011 World Cup won by India, has dominated the IPL Auction for the second consecutive year. His price went up further even though he is not part of Team India now. Yuvraj Singh was sold to Delhi Daredevils for Rs 16 crore. Dinesh Karthik was sold to Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 10.5 crore.

Angelo Mathews of Sri Lanka was the most expensive foreign player, as he was sold to Delhi Daredevils for Rs 7.5 crore. Delhi also bought Amit Mishra for Rs 3.5 crore. Kevin Pietersen was sold to Sunrisers Hyderabad for just Rs 2 crore.

Ironically, Sri Lankan veterans Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene found no takers. Indian pacer Munaf Patel and Test batsman Cheteshwar Pujara too went unsold at the IPL 8 Auction. At least 67 players, including 23 overseas players were sold out in IPL 8 Auction.
