Kaif, Jaffer goes unsold

Former India player Venugopal Rao made a windfall when he was purchased by Delhi Daredevils for $700,000 fetching him seven times his base price.

Meanwhile, Indian discards Mohammad Kaif and Wasim Jaffer attracted no interest and were left unsold.

Australian Luke Pomersbach was purchased by Royal Challengers Bangalore for $50,000, but his compatriot Adam Voges was unsold.

England's poor run at the auction continued when Ian Bell, one of their star performers in the Ashes, found no takers.

South African batsman Colin Ingram, England's Michael Lumb, West Indies' Darren Bravo, Sri Lankan Upul Tharanga were also not bought by any of the teams.
