Clarke was bought for his base price $400,000 by the Sahara group. It looks to be a fair deal as his price didn\u2019t get much higher as Sahara group plucked him for the base price.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Clarke, who came in as a replacement for Yuvraj Singh last season, may not be an automatic choice in the playing eleven and it was a telling story when no other franchise except Pune bid for the batsman.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all know it very well that Clarke is a good captain. He has been a great leader for Australia. We haven\u2019t decided anything on it, but we will surely give it a thought. Clarke has the experience that he can share with the younger players. He has been the highest run getter in last season and he can contribute a lot to the team,\u201d Shara group owner Subroto Roy said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The franchise, which pulled out of the auctions in 2012 in dramatic circumstances, was active this time around signing Sri Lankan mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis, India all-rounder Abhishek Nayar and the little known Australian pacer Kane Richardson for $700,000.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMendis is in good form. He has been picking wickets as well whereas Abhishek Nayar has proved with his all-round skill that he has lot to offer to the team and if given a chance he can be as good as an International player,\u201d added Roy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-4313\" style=\"margin: 4px;
