I feel bad thinking that these players got wayy more than actually the players who deserves it

Hazelwood would be missing first half of IPL, so teams didn't took him.

Fleming is looking really good

Sold to KKR for 24.75 crore!

Phew, that was a record-breaking bid. Time for KKR to celebrate. Mitch Starc is back in the IPL after eight years and how!

Here is Sampath Bandarupalli: "Sold price of only 11 players across all the auctions combined before today is higher than Mitchell Starc's current bid". Wow!

SRH get Jaydev Unadkat

Mahela gets Madushanka for 4.6 crore

As expected, overseas spinners were just not in demand in the auction. Even though the likes of Akeal Hosein, Adil Rashid and Tabraiz Shamsi have a reputation, the teams just didn't show any interest. Mujeeb went unsold as well

What are the areas to look to strengthen in your team?

Vettori: It's such a small auction and as I said, the team felt relatively settled that we could one or two players. The left-handed opening batsman was a huge part of that. I didn't expect to be pushed that hard by Chennai but happens and then obviously looking at their quality at the top. There are so many good players available and when you have that big purse, you can target one of them and hope to get them. That was the case with Cummins and obviously there are still some very good players to come. If we missed out on

Daniel Vettori, SRH coach, speaks

What does Travis bring to the platter?

Vettori: It is sort of tough to talk about what happened last season, but we were pretty adamant to get in left-handed batsmen. With Markram, Klaasen and Glenn Phillips in the squad, and with Brook there in the middle, felt there was similarity between the four of them. So we just wanted to get some options. Everyone knows how well he has been playing for an extended period of time now. So we are grateful to get him at that price. We expected him to go for more. The captaincy is just wait and see really. We don't want to burden guys just at this stage. There is a lot of cricket before the IPL, so we have to get through that and we can make a decision closer to the time.
