Fourteen New Zealand cricketers went under the hammer in the Indian Premier League auction - including rising star Rachin Ravindra.
Six of them were 'sold' to the League's franchises. Daryl Mitchell was bought by the defending champion Chennai Super Kings for $2.7 million.
Pace bowler Lockie Ferguson is going to Royal Challengers Bangalore for $385,000.
And after a strong Cricket World Cup last month Ravindra has been on the outer with Black Caps selectors for the T-20 format, but the allrounder was tipped to be popular with IPL franchises.
Ravindra set his base price at a relatively low $100,000, but was picked up by the Chennai Super Kings for $350,000.
Ravi Ravindra, Rachin's father, spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
