Bangalore, Punjab collide

India's exciting batsman Saurabh Tiwary's bidding triggered a huge debate before he was snapped up for $1.6 million by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the post lunch session of the 2011 IPL Players' Auction.

Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab had a war of words after the auctioneer Richard Madleey accepted a late bid from the latter. Things heated up as Siddharth Mallya, director of RCB, even went up to the Kings XI team table to clarify matters.

Eventually, Bangalore took the honours as they increased the bid.

Tiwary made a name for himself with his power hitting for Mumbai Indians in the last three editions of the IPL.
