Bangladesh bowler Mashrafe Mortaza [Images] created quite a sensation as he became the costliest player from his country to be sold in the Indian Premier League [Images] players' auction in Goa [Images] on Friday.

The 25-year-old Mortaza, who has played 35 Tests and 103 ODIs, was purchased by Shah Rukh [Images] Khan-owned Kolkata Knight Riders [Images] for a massive US $600,000.

Interestingly, Mortaza started with a base price of $50000, but his price tag kept climbing steadily as Kolkata faced tough competition from Kings XI Punjab [Images] before they bagged him for 12 times his starting price.

Other players who made a massive impact in the auction were South Africa's [Images] Jean-Paul Duminy [Images], who went for $950,000 against his base price of $300,000.

Little-known South African Tyron Henderson, yet to play Tests and ODIs, was snapped up by defending champions Rajasthan Royals [Images] for a mammoth $650,000 after starting with a base price of $100,000.

England's [Images] Ravi Bopara [Images] also got a good deal, purchased by Kings' XI Punjab for $450,000, three times his starting price of $150,000.
