Kochi also get Aussie Klinger

England's Owais Shah was snapped up for his base price of $200,000 by Team Kochi, who also bought Australian Michael Klinger for $75,000.

However, his compatriot Jonathan Trott, starting with a reserve price of $200,000, was not taken by any of the franchisees.

The other unsold players from the batsmen group were: South Africans Jacques Rudolph and Neil McKenzie, New Zealand's Lou Vincent and Martin Guptill, Australia's Simon Katich, West Indies Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Sri Lankan Jehan Mubarak.
