Morris Trumps Steyn, Watson Overshadows Yuvi: Twitter Reacts

Social media has much to say about the IPL 2016 auctions. Here is some Twitter food for thought.

The stakes are high, and there are big bucks to be made. However, some of the buys in the IPL auction this year have been baffling, and Twitter has been quick to pick up on it. Here are some tweets that will keep you hooked to the action.

When Chris Morris went for an inexplicable Rs 7 crore:

7 cr for @Tipo_Morris thrice the amount of the Dale steyn. This has to be the surprise of the day. #IPLAUCTION

Delhi in hibernation - or they shocked themselves with that 7 cr buy.#IPLAuction

When Vijay Mallya’s RCB made lavish, opulent buys:

RCB & Mallya paying 2 cr for Stuart Binny. Now you know why Kingfisher went bankrupt. #IPLAuction

— Sumit (@_RKSumit) February 6, 2016

With 2 cr in his pocket now Stuart "The Waterboy" Binny can buy a customed water delivery kit for his team. #IPLAuction

When poor Yuvi was shunted from team to team:

Release him. Get him back. Release him. Get him back.
RCB treats Yuvraj Singh the way Yerwada Jail treated Sunjay Dutt.#IPLAuction

Yuvraj Singh keeps going from one team to another. He is Narendra Modi of IPL.

Here’s Twitter proving that the auction is as much fun as the matches themselves:

It must be frustrating to be Akash Ambani at the #IPLAuction. He can buy all the players 50,000 times over, but has this silly salary cap.

I'll be impressed if the auctioneer can get through today saying "Rising Pune SuperGiants" without bursting out laughing. #IPLAuction

#IPLAuction
Strongest team till now has been "No-One"
Because No-One is buying good players all morning

The lady standing next to Richard Madley at the #IPLAuction seems to be the most disinterested in the whole room.
