He was soon joined in the exclusive bracket by all-rounder Yusuf, who was bought by the same franchise for $2.1 million. Yusuf's reserve price was $300,000.
Batsman Uthappa went to new franchise Pune Warriors for $2.1 million, while Sharma was bought by Mumbai Indians for $2 million as Indians called the shots.
