day’s most expensive buy at Rs. 9.5 crore (Royal Challengers Bangalore).
94 players were auctioned, including 23 overseas cricketers.
A whopping Rs. 136 crore was spent on player purchases,and the two new
teams - Rising Pune Supergiants and Gujarat Lions build their teams.
The day’s highlight was the Rs. 8.5 crore that Delhi left-arm spinner Pawan
Negi secured from Delhi Daredevils.
Negi even emerged as the most expensive Indian player, pipping Yuvraj
Singh, who got Rs. 7 crore from Sunrisers Hyderabad.
