BANGALORE - Little-known Daniel Christian was the most expensive among the players sold on the concluding day of the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction here Sunday.

Christian was bought by Deccan Chargers but his paycheque, 18 times his base figure of $50,000, was nowhere near Gautam Gambhir’s record $2.4 million coughed up by Kolkata Knight Riders on the opening day of the auction Saturday.
