#7 Kerala Blasters - Rs 3.48 crores
Kerala Blasters came into the draft having done half their job beforehand by retaining CK Vineeth and Sandesh Jhingan. The Men in Yellow splashed the cash on local lad Rino Anto and India regular Jackichand Singh, both of whom will command a combined salary of Rs 1.18 crores.
Apart from Anto and Jacki, the Blasters also spent big on midfielders Milan Singh and Arata Izumi, while goalkeeper Subhashish Roy Chowdhury also commanded a cool Rs 37 lakhs. The draft turned out to be a damp squib for Blasters fans, who had been spoiled by Jhingan and Vineeth's retention.
