Everyone comes with their own plans. This is my 14th auction – you know you win some and lose some. Starc was a preffered player from that skillset standpoint. We were not successful in some bids, so that favoured us. We were just happy to have him in our side.

Vikram Solanki, GT director of cricket: It shows the value of the player and the skillset he possesses. He’s a fabulous player and lost out to KKR. But that’s the way things go at the auction. We will make our way through the rest of the auction as we need to.

With his ability to play spin he is competitive and he is also a handy bowler. In Chepauk we can slide him into a role. Just like his performances, he fits in nicely and a good buy for us.”
