Mumbai buy Harbhajan and Jayasuriya
Mumbai entered the fray in the second round of bidding, picking up Sanath Jayasuriya for US$ 975,000 (his base price was US$ 250,000) and Harbhajan Singh for US$ 850,000 (base price US$ 250,000)

Mumbai entered the fray in the second round of bidding, picking up Sanath Jayasuriya for US$975,000 (his base price was US$250,000) and Harbhajan Singh for US$850,000 (base price US$250,000).
It means Sachin Tendulkar has become the second player after Mahendra Singh Dhoni to cross the million-dollar mark. As an icon he will stand to earn 15% more than the most paid player in the franchise (Jayasuriya) - which translates to US$1.12 million.
The other players who were picked in the second round of bidding were: Anil Kumble by Bangalore for US$ 500,000 (base price: US$250,000) and Kumar Sangakkara by Mohali for US$700,000 (base price: US$250,000). So Sanga joins his friend and national captain Mahela Jayawardene - and their former coach Tom Moody.
Glenn McGrath and Mohammad Yousuf haven't found any takers so far, so they have gone into the reserve pool and will be picked later.
Everyone's now broken for lunch, back at 13-35 p.m.

Jaipur Shane Warne (US$450,000)
Chennai MS Dhoni (US$1.5 million), Muttiah Muralitharan (US$600,000), Matthew Hayden (US$375,000), Jacob Oram (US$675,000)
