The explosive opener has scored 6,565 runs at a strike rate of 140 and an average above 40 in the IPL, but none of the teams were prepared to invest in the 38-year-old left-hander as the auction wound up with a lengthy second day's bidding in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.Lucknow Super Giants pay a record sum for wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant in the IPL auction in Jeddah but Mitchell Starc's price halves in a year.
