Dinesh Karthik got a massive boost on his base price of $200,000, when he was purchased by Kings XI Punjab for $900,000.

Parthiv Patel, who had a base price of $100,000, was bought by Team Kochi for $290,000, while Wriddhiman Saha, who started with the same base price, was bought by Chennai Super Kings for the same price.

Naman Ojha, who played for Rajasthan Royals in the previous editions, was signed up by Delhi Daredevils for $270,000.

Among the Australian, Brad Haddin was bought for $325,000 by Kolkata Knight Riders and Tim Paine went to Sahara Pune Warriors for $270,000, while compatriot Graham Manou, who started with a base price of $50,000, found no takers.

South Africa's uncapped wicketkeeper David Jacobs went for more than nine times his base price and was purchased by Mumbai Indians for $190,000.

Shockingly, Ashes winning wicketkeeer Matt Prior and South Africa's Mark Boucher, who both had a base price of $200,000 also went unsold.
