Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR)

Kolkata Knight Riders had a lot of work to do going into the auction, lot of loophole to fill – moving forward from the below par returns of their last year’s auction. Yet again, like they do in a lot of auctions, made some surprise buys. It is a witness to their strategy team as to how they manage to deliver results with some surprising pick. While Shrikant Mundhe and Nikhil Naik were entire surprising picks, they managed some good foreign picks – a department that needed serious loading – in Lockie Ferguson, Anrich Nortje and Joe Denly. Going for two outright quicks could also be an indication of how they could be planning for the upcoming season. While they got most of their foreign picks easy and cheap, they got into an strong struggle for Carlos Brathwaite. Having paid INR. 5 Crore for the Windies all-rounder, it remains to be seen if he can find a place in the starting XI. While KKR strengthened their pace and all-round section, they maybe missed a batsman, going home with saving more than INR 6 Crore.

Chennai Super Kings

Squad strength: 25
Players bought in auction: 2
Price at the end of the auction: INR. 3.2 Crore

Purse at the end of the auction: INR. 3.2 Crore Having retain the volume of the squad earlier, CSK had a minor role to play during the latest auction. However, they did bring in a value addition to their Indian pace store in the form of Mohit Sharma, who had essayed key roles for the team in the past.

Delhi Capitals

Squad strength: 25
Players bought in auction: 10
Price at the end of the auction: INR. 7.7 Crore

Having retained 14 players and acquiring Shikhar Dhawan during the transfer window, Delhi’s auction excursion was all about satisfying the gaps. They had let go of abroad names like Glenn Maxwell, Jason Roy and Liam Plunkett, and to make up for it they roped in solid options like Keemo Paul, Sherfane Rutherford and Colin Ingram, which blend well with the young Indian names in the set up.
