Some of the other highlights

KP 1.6 million - Dehli Daredevils (I believed they used a right to match card)
Yuvraj Singh 2.5 Million - Royal Challengers Bangalore

Steve Smith just got sold to the Royals for 712k I think...my currency conversion isn't that good

Yusuf Pathan only 540kUS...Sunrisers won the bid but KKR used their Right to Match card to nab him

David Hussey unsold :o

Matthew Wade didn't get sold.

Dave Hussey doesn't get sold.

Also Watson and Faulkner won't be in this auction. The Royals used their option to retain them both for one more season

I reckon Mumbai are gonna use their right to match card on Maxi.

Dilshan still plays ODI and T20 and Sri Lanka are in England this year during IPL
English (KP excepted) rarely if ever go

Lanka are touring England during the IPL.

My Gran also reckons it's because there could be trouble between India and Lanka in regards to the signing of players and visas or something like that.

Only two Lankans have gone so far, Malinga who was retained by Mumbai and Thesara Perera

Fair enough then. No point paying so much for players if they aren't available!
