Chennai, February 18: The much-awaited IPL 2021 auction finally came to an end on Thursday (February 18) as the eight teams made some interesting and eye-popping buys to complete their squad ahead of IPL 14. In the mini-auction, a total of 56 players were purchased with South Africa all-rounder Chris Morris (Rs 16.25 crore) was the top buy and pipped Australia pacer Pat Cummins to emerge as the costliest overseas player in the IPL history.
Uncapped Krishnappa Gowtham - who was released by Kings XI Punjab prior to the auction - was bought by Chennai Super Kings for a mammoth amount of Rs 9.25 crore. The Karnataka all-rounder surpassed Krunal Pandya to become the costliest uncapped player in the history of the league.
Kings XI Punjab - who are now rechristened as Punjab Kings - went into the auction with the biggest purse available with Rs 53.20 crore, followed by RCB (Rs 35.90 crore), RR (Rs 34.85 crore), CSK (Rs 22.90 crore), MI (Rs 15.35 crore), DC (Rs 12.9 crore) and Rs 10.75 crore each for KKR and SRH.
Glenn Maxwell's price again raised eyebrows, Chris Morris forced franchises to break the bank and Indian fans will be vociferously googling Riley Meredith's credentials while trying to figure out how Jhye Richardson swooped a nearly 2 million dollar deal.
Here are the highlights from the IPL 2021 Auction:
