Jeddah (Saudi Arabia): The highly anticipated event - IPL mega auction was finally over on Monday as the franchise spent ₹639.15 Crores on a total of 182 players. While 182 players were sold in the two-day event, 395 players got no takers in the auction room. The auction included intense bidding wars as the teams tried to make their dream squads. While the first day included some blockbuster deals, the second day also continued the trend with pace bowlers getting a high amount of sum.
Rishabh Pant was the star of the show as he became the most expensive player in the history of the tournament. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) shelled out an amount of ₹27 Crores for the wicketkeeper-batter. Shreyas Iyer also made waves as he was bought for ₹26.75 Crores from Punjab Kings.
Jos Buttler was the most expensive overseas buy in the auction as he was bought for a value of ₹15.75 Crores by Gujarat Titans. Also, the auction wasn’t without surprises as big names like David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, and Mustafizur Rahman went unsold in the auction.
