In this part of the world we don't see much snow unless we go to snowy mountains.

Cheers..

Finally, the two-day-long mayhem has come to an end. All franchises have bought a squad and feel confident about the combinations. Some franchises would be announcing their captains soon. What an auction it has been. Full of anticipation amidst auction action! Some were honored, and a few were left to keep their hopes for the future!

U19 cricketers Raj Angad Bawa and Rajvardhan Hagargekar were picked up by PBKS and CSK respectively.

Indian middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer was bought for a whopping 12.25 crores by KKR making him one of the most expensive players in IPL 2022.

Indian Middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer, who was unavailable for the two ODI games against West Indies after getting affected with COVID-19 made a strong comeback in the third game against the Carribeans. Iyer was awarded the Man of the Match trophy for his match-winning 80 run display against the Windies. The knock was played on just before the much-awaited IPL Mega Auction 2022.

Iyer was named captain of the Delhi Capitals side in the previous edition of the tournament, but owing to an injury, he could not partake in the first phase of IPL so DC handed over the captain's armband to Rishab Pant. Even after his return in the UAE phase, Rishab Pant continued as a captain Delhi Capitals, however, did not retain their star batter ahead of IPL Auction 2022.

KKR outruns RCB, DC, and Lucknow in bidding war for Shreyas Iyer

As expected, more than half the franchise wanted the star middle-order batter in their squad. Bangalore, Delhi, Lucknow, and Gujarat tried to outbid each but the bidding war was won by KKR. Kolkata bought the batsman for a whopping 12.25 crores. Till now, he is the most expensive player in the ongoing auction.

Super proud and honoured': Shreyas Iyer on joining KKR

Shreyash Iyer reacted to this news by saying, "Super proud and honoured to be part of KKR family, I'm looking forward to working with every member, support staff, and management. LET's KILL IT"

All franchises have been allowed an auction spending cap of Rs 90 crore by the IPL Governing Council. There is also a Rs 67.5 crore minimum spending limit.

A full IPL squad can have a maximum of 25 players and a minimum of 18.

What happens to unsold players in the IPL auction?

The unsold players are free to play matches elsewhere. However, franchises remain in touch of the unsold players they are interested in so that they can rope them in if they need a replacement player.

Also, some unsold players join the IPL franchises as net bowlers to help them with their training.

Didn't know this. Thanks for the info 👍🏼

Really surprised to see Shakib in there.

Some or most of these players might be picked in today's accelerated rounds.

So Wriddhiman went unsold on first day? 😲

Did Shakib get a team finally?
