Donavon Ferreira, wicketkeeper-batsman from Pretoria keeps the franchises busy and from a base price of R175K he moves to R5.5M. Royals out of the race, Super Kings bid for R5.5M, Capitals are thinking and Capitals bid for R5.6M... They might not have the purse but Capitals going all-out.. Whispers in the auction room as Ferreira stands at R5.60M. Capitals have the budget but they have to fill the squad of 17, which is mandatory. Some drama. They go back with Super Kings’ bid of R5.5M as Capitals have to fill a squad of 17 and can’t flush out the money and fill a squad of 15. This is probably the first time that happened in an auction where the franchises have miscalculated their permutations and combinations.
