Sports Correspondent K.C. Vijay Kumar brings conversation hot from the bidding room. read on to know what's on King's XI Punjab owner Preity Zinta's mind-
Preity Zinta, one of the co-owners of Kin gs XI Punjab, played down the mild difference of opinion with the Royal Challengers Bangalore team-management while bidding for Saurabh Tiwary during the IPL player auction here on Saturday. “There was no animated conversation (with Siddharth Mallya), just a discussion and all’s well that ends well. We were in a corner and the auctioneer didn’t spot us well and Royal Challengers won Saurabh Tiwary (at $1.4 million) but then the auctioneer changed his mind and we bid at $1.5 and since RCB had already won when the hammer went down, we didn’t contest the bid when they raised it to $1.6. This is part of the bidding process, we lost Yuvraj Singh, Mahela Jayawardene, Irfan Pathan, that’s the way it goes in an auction, it’s all fluid,” said Zinta.
Meanwhile B. Vanchi, one of the co-owners of Delhi Daredevils expressed his joy over purchasing Irfan Pathan at $1.9 million. “He is a good allrounder and we are happy with having him with us,” Vanchi said and Zinta chimed in: “He is a good player and great guy. It’s our loss.”
