Hurricanes star D'Arcy Short's Saturday night ended ended on a high note; less than 30 minutes after Hobart advanced to the KFC Big Bash League finals, he went under the hammer and was snapped up by Rajasthan Royals for $775,000. He was soon joined by Hurricanes quick Jofra Archer, bought by the Royals for $1.4m.
