It depends on what the salary cap situation is, as I am unsure if it has been increased.
But looking at the rest of the market, I would say Gambhir is worth anywhere between $1.7-$2.3 million.
The IPL teams have learned their lessons from last year. The Indian players, who are guaranteed to play every game and not have to go for international duty, are the most valuable players. Then when you take the fact that Gambhir and Rohit Sharma are out-and-out guns, of course they're worth every penny (relatively to the rest of the field).
Vettori going $400k less than Botha must be because they see Botha as not playing tests for SA, whereas Vettori plays tests and ODIs for NZ.

yeah indian's are going to be buying franchises and the big bash is becomming IPL style terrible idea

Kings XI Punjab are going to nab some quality players for very little right at the end.

International Debutant
I think that makes sense. He could play a useful role mentoring some of the younger batsmen.
Haha, hadn't thought of that angle.Sachin will have a lot to handle there.
And he was the witness too.

SL players worth 2x if you ask me because their board is one of the few around that is actually receptive of them playing in the IPL.

Kochi has: Mahela Jayawardene, VVS Laxman, Brendon McCullum, Sreesanth, RP Singh
with $6.1m left to go. They can get themseleves a pretty solid team here, maybe not too many superstars but a good team nonetheless.
Punjab is going to pick up a hell lotta cheap players later on, with $8.1m left to spend.
Rajasthan are pretty ****ed imo. Little over a million left with not a great deal in their squad. Only Indian they have is Dravid.

According to the FTP, NZ are free after the WC until November.

I quite like RCBs picks. Zaheer maybe a fitness issue but considering that hes eligible to play every game hes well worth the amount they paid for him. Good bowlers are harder to come by than good batsmen in this format. The rest were all steals. Would have liked Mahela but not sure it would have justified his price tag

Cricketer Of The Year
From the SL players, Mathews and Perera could be important picks because of seam bowling and big hitting capabilities.
Kochi might make Mahela their captain.
Are Steyn, Theron, Morkel, Amla in the auction?

Yeah I believe the only sides who have clashes are West Indies and Pakistan, and the latter aren't having any players in the IPL.

Dont the auctions take place every 3 years? My guess is that these guys sign 3 year contracts, hence its not just about their availability for this year. Or at least thats the way it should be.
