The Indian Premier League just faced the IPL season 5 auctions of the players. It is the 5th season of million dollar league and so the stage was set on fire.
Who went to which team and for how much is the question that is on mind of all. The franchises were actually asked to submit their wish list of the players that they wanted to have after IPL auction.
The biggest attraction was Ravindra Jadeja that was bough by CSK. The player was bought for USD 2 million. The young cricketer actually went to CSK after the tie breaker between CSK and Deccan Chargers as CSK bid maximum for this Saurashtra player. Chennai team managed to win over Deccan in tie breaker.
