Bengaluru, Feb 12: At the end of the exciting two-days IPL mega auction, Kolkata Knight Riders have their full squad of twenty-five players.

For the Knights the two auction days panned out very differently. While on the opening day the Kolkata franchise spent a whopping 35 crores on five players, it was the complete opposite on the second day as they added 16 more players but spent only 12.65 crores.

KKR started Day 1 of the IPL mega auction on a big note as the former champions picked up Shreyas Iyer for a whopping Rs. 12.25 crores. With the big question of captaincy hanging over their heads, the Knights added two possible options to their line-up on Saturday. First the Knight Riders signed former Delhi Capitals skipper Shreyas Iyer and then went on to add Australia Test skipper Pat Cummins to the line-up.

At the end of Day 1 the Knights had nine players in their dugout. As the curtains dropped at the end of Day 2 on Sunday, Kolkata had added 16 more players making it a 25-member squad.

The Kolkata side had already retained Varun Chakravarthy, Venkatesh Iyer, all rounders Andre Russell and Sunil Narine.

The first player to be bought by KKR on Sunday was under-pressure India batsman Ajinkya Rahane. Knights picked him up for his base price of Rs. 1 crore. Towards the closing stages of the auction, Knights added Umesh Yadav and a hoard of players to their squad. KKR also picked up some of the marquee signings like Sam Billings and Alex Hales towards the dying stages of the auction.

Earlier on Day 1 of the auction, the Kolkata side had splurged big on Iyer and Cummins. The addition of Shreyas Iyer and Nitish Rana will add weightage to their batting. Kolkata also added uncapped Sheldon Jackson and Shivam Mavi on the opening day.

Interesting auction rules

The Silent Tie-Breaker: When two teams are tied and exhausted all their purse trying to bid for a player, they can submit a final closed bid amount and the one who's bid more will get the player.

The extra amount bid is to be deposited with BCCI and will not be part of Rs 90 crore purse. Process can be repeated till a clear winner emerges.
