Pietersen deal
Print Edition
England may have jettisoned Kevin Pietersen but the maverick batsman’s hard-hitting ability fetched him the highest bid among foreign players at yesterday’s Indian Premier League auction. Pietersen, available for the entire duration of the cash-rich IPL after being shunned by England, was picked up by Delhi, the franchise he played for last year, for 90 million Indian rupees (US$1.45 million) after an intense bidding war. The Chennai, Hyderabad and Punjab franchises bid heavily for the 33-year-old, whose base price was 20 million Indian rupees, but Delhi bagged his services after using their right to match the highest bid. India’s Yuvraj Singh drew the highest bid of 140 million Indian rupees in the morning session of the auction and was bought by the Vijay Mallya-owned Bangalore franchise.
