Kevin Pietersen was bought for the underwhelming (in comparison to expectations) amount of £880,000 in the IPL auction by the Delhi Daredevils who let him go when last season ended because of commitments they presumed he would have playing for England.
KP was the third highest purchase on the first day of the auction and only England player. The likes of Bell, Bopara and Dernbach still to be sold to the highest bidder - but ties to England means their IPL season will be cut short to May 13th.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore bought India's Yuvraj Singh for £1.37m whilst Australia's Mitchell Johnson went for £640,000 by Kings XI Punjab.
Ball on Willow.
