Stokes, Starc among 36 players with top base price for IPL auction

Still waiting for his disciplinary or legal charges for the Bristol incident in September, Ben Stokes is among the 36 players who have listed their base price at the maximum of INR 2 crore (USD 315,000 approx) ahead of the IPL auction on January 27 and 28.

The most notable names among the 13 Indian and 23 overseas players in the highest-price band were Mitchell Starc, Shikhar Dhawan, Yuvraj Singh, R Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, Brendon McCullum, Rashid Khan, Chris Gayle and Eoin Morgan.

On Friday, the IPL sent the long list of 1122 players to the eight franchises which includes 281 capped players and 838 uncapped players, including 778 Indians and three players from the Associate nations. A final auction pool would be prepared by the end of next week once the franchises submit their wishlists to the IPL.

As the franchises get ready for the mega two-day auction, one name at the top of their wishlist would be Stokes. The allrounder became the most expensive overseas player bought at an IPL auction when Rising Pune Supergiant paid INR 14.5 crore (USD 2.16 million approx in 2017). Stokes lived up to the hype by helping Pune to the final, which they lost to Mumbai Indians, as he earned the Player-of-the-Tournament award in his maiden IPL.

Stokes scored 316 runs at a strike rate of 142.98 including an unbeaten century while chasing down 162 against Gujarat Lions. He also picked 12 wickets with an economy rate of 7.18 from the 12 matches he played, missing the final because of national duties.

Stokes has not played for England since his arrest on September 26but represented Canterbury in three one-dayers and as many T20s in December, including a 47-ball 93 in a T20 against Otago. Last week, Stokes was named in the England squad for the two Tests in New Zealand starting in February, although his involvement is subject to any relevant legal or disciplinary developments.

Fast bowler Tymal Mills listed his base price at INR 1 crore (USD 160,000 approx.). Last IPL auction, Mills not just set a new record price for a specialist bowler but was also the second-most expensive sale at the tenth auction when Royal Challengers Bangalore paid INR 12 crore (USD 1.8 million approx in 2017) for him. Mills' returns were five wickets at an economy rate of 8.57 from five matches.

Another international name that is likely to attract huge interest is Starc. Fresh after his Ashes heroics, Starc remains an attractive buy with his ability to deliver the ball at a fiery pace, dart in toe-crushing yorkers and also deceive batsmen with a change of pace. There was hardly any surprise when Royal Challengers paid INR 5 crore (USD 833,000) in 2014, although Starc could only play for them for two seasons; in 2016 he was injured while last year he parted ways with the franchise wanting to balance his workload.

The most overseas entries in the auction came from Australia - 58 names. South Africa were close with 57, and Sri Lanka and West Indies had 39 each. There were 23 players from England and 13 from Afghanistan.

Although most of the top names kept their base prices high, there were some exceptions. India fast bowler Ishant Sharma listed his base price at INR 75 lakhs (USD 118,000 approx). Incidentally, Ishant went unsold at the 2017 auction having listed his base price then at INR 2 crore. His disappointment was soon washed away after he replaced the injured M Vijay for Kings XI Punjab.

Manish Pandey, one of the contenders to lead Kolkata Knight Riders, has pegged his base price at INR 1 crore. Pandey is likely to be retained by Knight Riders through the right-to-match card option at the auction.

Mohammed Siraj, one of the success stories last IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad, listed his base price at INR 1 cr, too. Siraj, who has played two T20Is for India since last year's IPL, was bought by Sunrisers for INR 2.6 cr last year (USD 3,88,000 then). Young Indian offspinner Washington Sundar, who also made his international debut recently, set his base price at INR 1.5 crore (USD 235,000 approx.). Sundar was one of the go-to bowlers for Pune last year and along with Rahul Tripathi, he was instrumental in the team ending as runners-up.

In contrast to the high base prices of Siraj and Sundar, some of the uncapped top performers of last IPL set their price much lower. While Tripathi listed his base price at the minimum - INR 20 lakhs (USD 31,500 approx), Basil Thampi and Krunal Pandya listed theirs at INR 30 lakhs (USD 50,000) and 40 lakhs (USD 63,000) respectively. Thampi was bought by Gujarat Lions for INR 85 lakhs (USD 126,000) last year and was their second-highest wicket-taker in his maiden IPL with 11 wickets, but with an expensive economy rate of 9.49.

Krunal superseded senior bowler Harbhajan Singh with his wickets tally for Mumbai Indians who won the IPL for a third time last year. Krunal scored 243 runs at 34.71 and struck them at 135.75 alongside his 10 wickets and an economy rate of under seven per over. Incidentally, Mumbai were keen on retaining Krunal, but eventually picked his younger brother Hardik. With two right-to-match cards in hand, Mumbai are likely to retain Krunal at the auction. Assam's 16-year old batsman Riyan Parag was the youngest player on the auction list while Mumbai legspinner Pravin Tambe, 46, was the oldest.

IPL 2018: Virender Sehwag says RCB will be foolish to let this player join another franchise

Former India opener Virender Sehwag, who himself has been one of the finest attacking batsmen expressed his views on Royal Challengers Bangalore's decision to leave out the likes of Chris Gayle. Admitting that leaving out big-hitter Gayle was an understandable decision, Sehwag said that RCB will be foolish to let one player join a rival team. Though a number of star players from the RCB squad, who weren't up to the mark in the previous season, one specifically was highlighted by Viru.

During the IPL player retention event, RCB decided to retain skipper Virat Kohli, South African batsman AB de Villiers and rookie Sarfaraz Khan while a host of other star players including Yuzvendra Chahal, KL Rahul, Kedar Jadhav, were left out in the players' pool.

From the players left out by the Bengaluru franchise, Viru only had eyes on Chahal, who he believes should be bought back by RCB at any cost.

 

 

"I don't know at what price he [Chahal] will go at but RCB will definitely use RTM for him. If they don't, then they will be stupid," Sehwag said, as quoted as saying by Sportskeeda website.

On RCB's decision to not retain Gayle, Sehwag said that age played a major factor in the franchise's selection. "Gayle is now getting old. He is not the same Gayle that he once was. Last year, he played in the IPL and his performance wasn't at that level that he was once renowned for," Sehwag said.

Not ruling out an RTM to be used for the big West Indian, Sehwag added that fans might well see Gayle being retained by RCB via RTM. "Teams take into account this factor when they enter the auction. Maybe RCB might go after Gayle again at the auction," he added.

RCBs' decision to retain the trio of Kohli, De Villiers and Sarfaraz made Indian captain the most expensive player in history – having spent a total of Rs. 17 crore to keep him in their books – and while the retention of ABD was also expected, the decision to keep Sarfaraz as well has left quite a few bewildered

IPL 2018: At upcoming auctions, Kings XI Punjab eyeing former Chennai Super Kings player for captain's role

New Delhi: India’s domestic T20 tournament, Indian Premier League (IPL), is still a couple of months away but the fact that all the franchises would have to buy players again, barring the retained ones, has already sent team owners to their think room. While the names of retained players were out on January 4, the teams are now making strategies for the auction which is scheduled to take place on January 27-28 in Bengaluru.

 

Amid all this, Kings XI Punjab, who retained only one player – left-arm spinner Axar Patel for Rs 6.5 crore, are eyeing to buy South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis and make him the skipper as well. The right-hander, who has been associated with Chennai Super Kings and Rising Pune Supergiant in past, remains to be one of the most established batsmen in world cricket.

 

The Kings did not have a great decade in terms of results and have tried many players in the skipper’s role.

 

KXIP CEO, Satish Menon, however, is still upbeat about the side and was enthusiastic about the change of fortunes for them in the 2018 season.

“The good thing about the fate is that it will change one day. Last few years haven’t been good for us. Fans still supported the team during the bad times. And they want better. You may never know that we might resurge in this season with Faf du Plessis as the Kings XI Punjab’s skipper,” Menon was quoted as saying by Cricket Addictor.

Earlier, the outfit had revealed that Punjab's home game will be hosted in Mohali along with Indore as well.

A tussle between the Punjab Government and the Punjab Cricket Association has been put to bed which bothered the side last year. The focal point of the tiff being security concerns. In August 2017, the Ness Wadia co-owned team voiced its malcontent regarding the PCA and local authority's negligence and conflict of interest.

Over the years, Kings XI Punjab also felt the paucity of the home fans leading to meagre turnovers from the home games. Apart from Mohali, IPL 2018 will witness Indore as the second home ground of the KXIP.
