Ireland may have won again, but once again there are no takers for Kevin O’Brien in IPL
Unsold bowlers: Krishmar Santokie, Dhammika Prasad, Peter Siddle, Hamish Bennett, Nuwan Kulasekara, Dirk Nannes, Shaun Tait, Sudeep Tyagi, Suranga Lakmal, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Thilan Tushara, Anton Devcich, Grant Elliott, Doug Bracewell, Nathan Reardon, Jonathan Carter, Joginder Sharma,Farhaan Behardien, Farvez Mahroof, Suraj Randiv, Rudra Pratap Singh, L Balaji, and Ben Laughlin
It seems the IPL career for Nannes and Tait, two high profile players, are over. Joginder Sharma could have been a good buy at Rs 30 lakhs.
Another good buy would have been Grant Elliott, who got into the New Zealand side before the World Cup, has struck form on time.
@DelhiDaredevils Thanks guys, can’t wait to join up!
