Is KKR planning to play with only three players?

They must have very little left under the cap by now.

They have spent half their cap on 2 players. But not bad players to
have.

Pietersen 650k to deccan. Taylor to rajasthan for a million dollars.

Makes one wonder if Delhi Daredevils released him outright, or because
they were unable to agree on contract price?

Who else was in the bidding (presumably KKR didn't just leap to 2.4M
ala Amitabh Bachchan in "Trishul'?)

CI has a blow-by-blow account. It seems there was a bidding war for
Gambhir. The last bids I can make out from different teams were:
Mumbai 750K, Pune 800K, Bangalore 1.8M, Kochi 2.3M. KKR made the final
bid, 2.4M.

Looks like KKR got suckered royally! Was it public knowledge that
they wanted Gambhir so badly?

LOL. Of course, Amitabh's bid was then followed by an audible gasp,
an appreciative nod and acknowledgement of his absolute brilliance by
everyone in the cinema house (me included..heh)

They must be prejudiced. You should consider writing to them.

That is a business fact. Not an opinion.
