hi friends. at first sight you might think its pretty stupid but on the other hand,sachin is the only player who never went under the hammer in all 3 auctions. first he was the icon player and then he was retained which brings me back to the question. If sachin tendulkar was auctioned at IPL,what price would he have got?

If sachin was auctioned surely his price is going to be very high. Still i dont think it is going to be above the value of gambhir. But i can predict it all.In ipl the franchise are not paying for the talents of the players only. The auction was for 3 years . I dont think sachin is going to play all the 3 years. So he may not be paid more than gambhir. Still considering his current form it can be high. I think even though sachin was not auctioned he is going to get money more than any other players in mumbai.May be even more than gambhir. In the case of retained players the franchise can decide how much to pay.

I did not know the fact that Sachin did not go through the hammer at all...Well he is priceless no doubt about that...on the funnier side probably mumbai would have spent all the purse on him...

Sachin brings much more to the platter than just his batting. He has a huge fan following. Any team bidding for sachin would have expected him to lead the team. Best of uncapped players would have happily agreed to join his team. all these factors would have certainly made his price almost double of Gambhir. But these arguments hold true for Dhoni too who might have gotten a bigger bid than Sachin.

If Sachin was in the auction for IPL season 4, I think the highest bid will be under his name.Every team will grab that oppurtunity to bring the "GOD OF CRICKET" to their team.His presence in the team will be a booster to other players.Alao will attract more crowd to the match venue.Moreover about his performance I have no words to say.If Sachin doesn't play well who is gonna to play better than him???

For me Sachin is my favorite player.. But I have seen that in this auction many old age players even didn't get place in IPL.. I mean Lara, Gibbs, Ganguly, Gayle are very cool batsmen still they didn't get chance. So its really hard to tell How much price would he offered !!!

Sachin tendulkar is the legend of cricket and he is so precious that no price will be suitable to give him respect.so I think is is good not to bring him under the auction...
