IPL Auction 2016 : Shane Watson is Top Buy

Australia's ageing all-rounder Shane Watson on Saturday (February 6)emerged as the biggest draw going for a whopping Rs 9.50 crore, while Yuvraj Singh was the costliest buy among the Indians with a bid of Rs 7 crore in a rather low-key IPL players' auction in Bengaluru.

He was joined by Yuvraj soon after even though today's bid was far less than the Rs 16 crore he had garnered in the last auction.

Another veteran Indian pacer, Ashish Nehra (Rs 5.5 crore to Sunrisers Hyderabad), Ishant Sharma (Rs 3.8 crore to Rising Pune Super Giants), Kevin Pietersen (Rs 3.5 crore to RPSG), and Dwayne Smith (Rs 2.3 crore to Gujarat Lions) were the other top draws among the marquee players.
