Waking up at around midnight in New Zealand, Kyle Jamieson wondered how much Rs 15 crore would be in his country s currency, after having watched an intense three-way bid for him in the IPL auction.

It was certainly a weird hour and a half waiting for my name to be called up, Jamieson was quoted as saying by stuff.co.nz.
