After 8 rounds of bidding in Mumbai Indian players ruled the roost as Mahendra Singh Dhoni led the way with 1.5 Millions US$ most expensive player in the market and shocking to see Andrew Symonds the most hated by indian fans a month ago turns out to be the 2nd most expensive player with 1.35 Million US$ ahead of 37 year old Sri Lankan All rounder Sanath Jayasuriya who has just been dropped from Odi squad against West Indies were the top 3 gainers apart from Iconic players who were Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh & Virender Sehwag representing their home clubs.
Young Indian cricketers like Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir, Ishant Sharma, Robin Uthappa, R.P.Singh, Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Sreesanth and much forgotten Mohammad Kaif Bagged more Dollers than some great International players like Muttiah Muralitharan, Ricky Ponting, Mathew Hayden, Anil Kumble, Chaminda Vass & VVS Laxman this shows the players were purchased according to their Off-feild value rather then their On-feild values. Their were no takers for Glenn Mcgrath, Micheal Hussey, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Justin Langer, Simon Katich & Loots Bosman initially and had to wait for the reserve round.
