IPL-III auction: Who went where, for how much

January 19, 2010 19:27 IST

West Indies [ Images ] all-rounder Kieron Pollard and New Zealand [ Images ] pacer Shane Bond [ Images ] emerged the most expensive players, sold for a whopping US $750,000 (approximately Rs 3.42 crore) each at the players' auction for the third edition of the Indian Premier League [ Images ], in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Pollard, who impressed in the inaugural Champions League [ Images ] T20 last year, started with a base price of $ 200, 000 while Bond, who was keen to join Chennai Super Kings [ Images ] ahead of the auction, started at $100, 000.

There was a four-way tie between Mumbai Indians [ Images ], Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers [ Images ] Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders [ Images ] for Pollard, but the Mumbai side eventually prevailed via a silent tie-breaker bid, the rule being introduced for the first time in the IPL.

Like Pollard, there was a keen tussle for Bond. Chennai Super Kings set the pace but in the end it was a fight between Kolkata Knight Riders and Deccan Chargers [ Images ], who both quoted $750, 000. The Kolkata team won the bid via the tie-breaker.

Here's a look at which players went to which franchise, and for how much.
