The biggest draw of the IPL auction was England all-rounder Ben Stokes who was bought by the Rising Pune Supergiants for INR 1450 lakh which is a record for a foreign player at any IPL auction.
There was a lot of demand for English players, with left-arm pacer Tymal Mills fetching INR 1200 lakh. Mills will star alongside the likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers at the Royal Challengers Bangalore this season.
All-rounders and fast bowlers were among the popular picks with South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada, New Zealand’s Trent Boult, Australia’s Pat Cummins and England’s Chris Woakes all going for huge sums of money.
For the first time in IPL history, Afghanistan and UAE players were picked at the auction. Afghanistan duo of Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan will represent defending champions SunRisers Hyderabad while UAE’s Chirag Suri will turn out for the Gujarat Lions.
The biggest surprise was that Imran Tahir, the number one bowler in the world in both ODIs and T20Is currently, went unsold.
Here is the list of all the players who were sold at the IPL 2017 auction.
