Obscene bit of horse flesh trading that could have been done indoors without the garish spotlight of the moolah being splashed around.
No doubt the cricket is of a good standard and quality, but wish that was the only talking point or standout point.

Ishan Kishan and Deepak Chahar clinched the most eye-popping deals as India's battle-hardened T20 exponents laughed their way to the bank on the opening day of IPL mega-auction where the franchises saved their highest bids for home-grown talent. Kishan's Rs 15.25 crore winning bid from Mumbai Indians pipped the Rs 14 crore figure that CSK offered to retain Deepak Chahar on Saturday. Franchises showed prudence in overall spending but didn't hesitate to loosen the purse strings for proven performers, especially Indians. In terms of US Dollars, there were 20 million-plus buys, the biggest by far at any IPL auction with most of the beneficiaries being Indian T20 specialists.

It was a satisfying 'Pay Day' for all current India internationals with Shreyas Iyer getting a staggering Rs 12.25 crore deal from Kolkata Knight Riders and the multi-skilled Shardul Thakur making Delhi Capitals break the bank with a Rs 10.75 crore.

These two, along with Kishan and Chahar, were the top four buys of the day.

"I'm really excited to be back at MI. I know everyone has treated me there like a family so I am really happy to be there and I hope to give my best to the team. Thank you so much," said the 23-year-old Kishan in a video posted on his twitter handle.

The big-hitting Kishan made his India debut last year and has been a Mumbai Indians player all along, performing consistently well for the side.

Young pacer Prasidh Krishna (Rs 10 crore) was paid big by Rajasthan Royals for his timely Man of the Series performance against the West Indies while Washington Sundar, another India regular, got richer by Rs 8.75 crore.

One of the expected big buys was pacer Avesh Khan, who was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 10 crore, the highest in the history of IPL for uncapped players.

Yuzvendra Chahal would be a bit cross as he came late in the day and could only get Rs 6.5 crore from Rajasthan Royals.

Even Nitish Rana, not an Indian regular but an IPL performer, was retained for Rs 8 crore by KKR while the uncapped Rahul Tripathi, who has been consistent in the league, very deservingly crossed the million dollar mark at Rs 8.50 crore.

Shahrukh Khan, another formidable domestic T20 finisher but one with a base price of a mere Rs 20 lakh, was taken for a 'mic-drop' deal of Rs 9 crore by Punjab Kings.

Rajasthan's former one-season wonder Rahul Tewatia was lapped up by Gujarat Titans for a mind-boggling Rs 9 crore.

It wasn't an auction to remember for the old guard and only two 35 plus players -- Shikhar Dhawan (Rs 8.25 crore, Punjab Kings) and Ravichandran Ashwin (Rs 5 crore, Rajasthan Royals) -- got good deals.

Among other seniors Mohammed Shami was taken by Gujarat Titans for Rs 6.25 crore. His new ball partner Bhuvneshwar Kumar got Rs 4.6 crore from Sunrisers.

While this was the last mega auction, what was impressive was the discretion that franchises used while buying players as the focus was on top Indian players available in the market and currently playing white-ball cricket.

For Chennai Super Kings, the aim was to follow Mahendra Sigh Dhoni's template and retain their core base of players as much as possible as they waited to buy back Deepak, another multi-skilled cricketer on ascendancy for India.

KKR retained eight out of their top first 11 players from last season but are still looking short in the fast bowling department.

KKR didn't do too badly as they picked up Australian Test captain Pat Cummins at Rs 7.25 crore, which is less than half of what he was paid at last auction.

"To get back Pat Cummins at that price, we are very, very delighted. We thought he would go higher," KKR CEO Venky Mysore said.

"We could not be happier getting Cummins and Shreyas in the first round itself. Heart beats a bit more properly now, we can now have some fun looking at what else is going on," he added.

While Cummins is a captaincy candidate, he will not be available during the first two weeks even though Mysore didn't want to commit on captaincy.

"As far as captaincy is concerned, that's a decision our coach and the think-tank will take. Certainly, between Cummins and Shreyas, we have solid options for us. I'm sure the think-tank will make the right decisions," he added.

Franchises do their homework

In case of overseas recruits, the franchises focussed on those who have shown themselves to be consistent performers in previous IPLs and with a reputation of doing well on Indian tracks.

Like other years, none of the franchises got swayed by performances in Big Bash League, the Caribbean Premier League and the Pakistan Super League and concentrated solely on those who can bring value during the IPL.

So Wanindu Hasaranga, who is from Sri Lanka and currently the world's No. 1 T20 International bowler, fetched Rs 10.75 crore while West Indian Nicholas Pooran, despite a disastrous IPL the last time, got a similar amount from Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The same reason got England's keeper-batter Jonny Bairstow a Rs 6.75 crore bid from Punjab Kings.

It was a case of supply and demand and at what time of the auction one is placed as teams, save for CSK (Dhoni) and Delhi Capitals (Rishabh Pant), didn't have wicketkeepers.

Pooran is an optimistic buy considering that he can be destructive on his day.

The discretion was evident when one saw a David Warner going for Rs 6.25 crore.

It was a very good bargain buy for Delhi Capitals and same could be said about newcomers Lucknow Supergiants, who got a fabulous player like Quinton de Kock for Rs 6.75 crore.

"Absolutely excited to buy David Warner. I cannot believe that we got such a legend at Rs 6.25 crore. With Warner and Prithvi Shaw opening the batting, it will be an explosive start to every single Delhi Capitals innings," DC co-owner Parth Jindal said.

The paucity of all-rounders meant that Jason Holder (Rs 8.75 crore) and Shardul would have attracted solid bids.

"We are really excited to have Shardul as he can bowl in Powerplays and bowl at the death," Jindal said.

Their only dodgy buy is Mitchell Marsh, whose IPL career has been plagued by injuries and paying him Rs 6.50 crore could be a bit of an oversight considering he can't be played at No. 3, where he worked wonders for Australia.

Among domestic players, Riyan Parag's Rs 3.80 crore retention by Royals, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy performer Abhinav Manohar's Rs 2.60 crore deal with Gujarat Titans were eye-catching.

South Africa's U-19 World Cup star Dewald Brevis, known as 'Baby AB' for his batting style's resemblance to AB de Villiers, was brought by Mumbai Indians for Rs 3 crore.

Abhishek Sharma, a left-arm spinner and left-handed batter, who many term as 'Poor Man's Krunal Pandya' for similar skill sets got a whopping Rs 6.5 crore from Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Foreign fast bowlers in demand

Trent Boult came in the marquee set and still fetched a million dollars (Rs 8 crore) for his good show in previous years for Mumbai Indians as Rajasthan Royals aggressively bid for him.

But when his New Zealand teammate and slightly pacier Lockie Ferguson arrived in fast bowler's set, he got the paddles raised at frequent intervals and Gujarat Titans, who didn't have a great first day, suddenly got activated and bought him for Rs 10 crore.

For CSK, Josh Hazlewood's exit will be a big deal as the Australian pacer will now play for RCB with a deal of Rs 7.75 crore.

Another speed demon Mark Wood of England got Rs 7.5 crore from Lucknow Super Giants.

Good bargain buys by Lucknow Super Giants

While RCB got their opening issues and captaincy sorted with a Rs 7 crore bid for Faf Du Plessis, Lucknow Supergiants claimed Quinton de Kock for Rs 6.75 crore.

Also, a currently out-of-sorts Manish Pandey, for Rs 4.6 crore, wasn't a bad bargain either.

Lucknow, however, bid big for Krunal and clinched him for a cool Rs 8.25 crore. His former Baroda bete noire Deepak Hooda was also taken by Lucknow for Rs 5.75 crore.

It is now up to Lucknow mentor Gautam Gambhir, who knows a thing or two about volatile temperaments, to see that team spirit is not hampered by the warring duo.

Pujara, Rahane, Ishant don't come under hammer, Saha unsold

Three prominent Test specialists Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ishant Sharma didn't come under the hammer on the day and it is understood that franchises didn't want to spend on players who don't bring value to the table with their T20 game.

They might come back on Sunday at the accelerated bidding process if someone expresses interests. Wriddhiman Saha, who has been told that he won't be picked for Test matches went unsold as teams are looking beyond the soon-to-be 38 year-old Bengal stumper.

Umesh Yadav, for his inconsistent white ball record, also went unsold and one of IPL's bonafide legends Suresh Raina found out that just playing IPL to IPL wouldn't work as Chennai Super Kings didn't bid for him. Ditto for Steve Smith who went unsold as there were no takers.
 
Some of the best international stars going for less then no name mediocre Indian domestic players.

As good as Indian cricket is there not enough quality for 10 IPL teams.

Only 4 foreign players allowed in a team. Hence some of big names go unsold.
10 teams need 70 Indian players to make their playing elevn.
No country in world can have 70 best quality players at any time who are as good as top Indian or any foreign player.
That's why some of these average/below average players getting big paycheck.

Demand and supply. Not a hard concept to understand.

Every team needs 7 Indian players in their starting XIs all the time irrespective of form, role, potential, player availability etc etc. And when you consider the longevity of the tournament, you'll need atleast 11-12 of them. As has been proved over the years, having an efficient Indian contingent (MI) is more crucial than having a superstrong overseas one (RCB).

<b>IPL 2022 Auction Explained: Decoding The Whys And Why Nots Of Day 1</b>

<I>As many as 97 players went under the hammer on the first day of the IPL 2022 auction on Saturday.</I>

Ishan Kishan (Rs 15.25 crore) and Deepak Chahar (Rs 14 crore) were the biggest buys of the day after being picked up by Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, respectively.

Avesh Khan, on the other hand, became the most expensive uncapped player in the history of the IPL when Lucknow Super Giants acquired his services for Rs 10 crore.

The 10 IPL franchises have so far spent above Rs 388 crore collectively to buy 74 players out of which 20 are overseas recruits. There were 20 players who got more than USD 1 million (Rs 7.53 crore as per Saturday's exchange rates).


The PTI next tries to answer some common queries about the IPL bids that fans have and why some of the insane bidding happened while some went unsold:


<b>Why did Ishan Kishan go for Rs 15.25 crore?</b>

— A current India player and also a wicket-keeper. Can win matches singlehandedly and, at 24, has age on his side. A part of MI's batting core. With 48 crore available, they could have gone for only one big India player. With matches at Wankhede and short boundaries, Kishan is the man to watch out for.


<b>Why did CSK pay Rs 14 crore for Deepak Chahar?</b>

— CSK had to go the distance for one among Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur, both blessed with multiple skill-sets. Chahar with his impeccable powerplay wicket-taking ability and being a part of CSK's set template of experienced players was a no-brainer. Once they took Chahar, they couldn't have possibly gone for Shardul. However, CSK still look short on express pace department but MS Dhoni will manage it.


<b>Why did Nicholas Pooran and Jonny Bairstow get big deals and Matthew Wade went unsold?</b>

— Most among the 10 teams needed wicket-keepers. Pooran had a horrendous last IPL but is still considered among one of the biggest T20 hitters plus a safe glovesman, and at times, a brilliant outfielder. It also had a lot do with the kind of purse that SRH and Punjab Kings had, which certainly inflated his bid.

— Matthew Wade, who played a blinder in the T20 World Cup semi-final against Pakistan, isn't the best player of spin bowling on sluggish surfaces, and hence, Bairstow, who has shown his IPL wares, got a deal.


<b>Why so many foreign fast bowlers with big deals?</b>

— Most of the teams during retention had shored up their batting, and hence, always had to depend on auction for tearaway quick bowlers. So Lockie Ferguson and Prasidh Krishna fetched more than Trent Boult at the auction.

— It also had a lot to do with Boult coming in marquee set at the start and the likes of Lockie, Josh Hazlewood coming later in the fast bowlers' set. Kagiso Rabada also went for more than a million dollars as he would have in first place.

— Avesh Khan and Harshal Patel were rewarded for their great show last year and they have been regularly playing domestic cricket. Kartik Tyagi, Shivam Mavi all earned their stripes for raw pace despite not even remotely being in India contention as of now.


<b>Why did KKR spend 12.25 crore on Shreyas Iyer?</b>

— KKR were looking at two things: a solid top-order, preferably No. 3 or 4 batter and also a proven captaincy material. With must of the top Indian batters not available, Iyer would have cost a bomb and he did indeed.


<b>Which team was most impressive in its choice of players?</b>

— Delhi Capitals, despite losing a lot of their core players, did a fine job by getting David Warner for less than Rs 7 crore. A Warner-Prithvi Shaw opening combination looks the most destructive.

— Getting Mitchell Marsh for less than 7 crore was also a bargain and so was Sarafaraz Khan at a base price of Rs 20 lakh and Kuldeep Yadav for Rs 2 crore.


<b>Which franchise looked the least impressive with their buys?</b>

— While Lucknow Supergiants were really impressive in their maiden season (although they had come in as Pune earlier), Gujarat Lions' picks defied logic. They haven't yet picked a wicketkeeper and even KS Bharath is sold out.

— Giving 9 crore to Rahul Tewatia, a one-match wonder of Sharjah, was baffling. He isn't a consistent performer.


<b>Which franchise looks to have a good spin attack?</b>

— Rajasthan Royals with Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal look to have a very good spin attack for Indian conditions.


<b>What happens to Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane and Ishant Sharma?</b>

— Pujara and Rahane are slotted at Nos 103 and 104, respectively, while Ishant is at 124 in the list. They will all come on Sunday but they are low priority as per the franchise's demand for players. Rahane might be taken by CSK for his experience.


<b>What happens to IPL journeymen like Siddarth Kaul and Mandeep Singh?</b>

— On Sunday, a lot of players will go for a low bidding price as most franchises have exhausted their purse to buy first-team players.

— Teams like KKR need to buy at least nine more players (for minimum squad of 18) and only have 12 crores to spend. So these guys won't be attracting great bids.
 
Really good to see that baby AB has got a 400k money at such a young age.
Hopefully some more young cricketers from other nations get good deals and change their lives for better.
 
The second day of the IPL 2022 mega auction will begin at noon in Bengaluru on Sunday. As many as 97 players went under the hammer on the first day of the IPL auction on Saturday. Ishan Kishan (Rs 15.25 crore) and Deepak Chahar (Rs 14 crore) were the biggest buys of the day after being picked up my Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, respectively. Avesh Khan, on the other hand, became the most expensive uncapped player in the history of the IPL when Lucknow Super Giants acquired his services for Rs 10 crore.

The evening session on Saturday saw IPL teams splurge astronomical amounts to get their hands on uncapped players. Shahrukh Khan was sold for Rs 9 crore to Punjab Kings from a base price of Rs 40 lakh. Gujarat Titans paid the same amount to buy Rahul Tewatia. Rahul Tripathi was bought for Rs 8.5 crore by Sunrisers Hyderabad. KKR kept Shivam Mavi by paying Rs 7.25 crore, while SRH paid Rs 4 crore to get paceman Kartik Tyagi.

South Africa's U19 World Cup star Dewald Brevis was bought for Rs 3 crore by Mumbai Indians while little known Karnataka batter Abhinav Sadarangani was bought for Rs 2.6 crore by Gujarat Titans. Earlier on Saturday, veteran auctioneer Hugh Edmeades collapsed while conducting the first session of the auction. The IPL later clarified that Edmeades' condition was "stable" as veteran sports presenter Charu Sharma was handed the auction duties for the remainder of the event.
 
Big Pay Day For Liam Livingstone

England's attacking batter Liam Livingstone, base price of Rs 1 crore, goes big. Punjab Kings pick him for a whopping 11.5 crore. The right-hander did not have a great season with Rajasthan Royals last year in the limited opportunities that he got but he has been in fine form for England and also in the BBL.

Finch And Pujara Unsold

Australia white-ball captain Aaron Finch and India Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara remain unsold for now.

Eoin Morgan Unsold

Former KKR captain Eoin Morgan, who led the team to the finals in last edition, goes unsold for now.

Mandeep Singh Will Play For DC

India batter Mandeep Singh, base price of Rs 50 lakh, has been picked up by Delhi Capitals for Rs 1.1 crore.

Dawid Malan Is Unsold

England batter Dawid Malan, base price of Rs 1.5 crore, remains unsold for now.

South Africa top-order batter Aiden Markram, base price of Rs 1 crore, is the first player to be sold on Day 2. The right-hander will play for Sunrisers Hyderabad after being bought for Rs 2.6 crore.
 
Franchises not interested in many English players. Is it because they will not be available for the whole season? Looks like some of the Eng. players missing out on millions.
 
CSK Rope In Shivam Dube

India all-rounder Shivam Dube, who last played for Rajasthan Royals, has gone from a base price of Rs 50 lakh to be picked by Chennai Super Kings for Rs 4 crore. The lanky left-hander can hit the big sixes and can chip in with two-three overs with his medium pace bowling.

West Indies all-rounder Odean Smith, who impressed in the recently-concluded ODI series against India, has been bought for Rs 6 crore by Punjab Kings. The right-arm seamer had a base price of Rs 1 crore. Surely the fact that he dismissed the great Virat Kohli in the second ODI, didn't have anything to do with it, did it?

Ishant Sharma Goes Unsold
Back after the break. The first name to be drawn is veteran pacer Ishant Sharma. No takers for Ishant so far. Shouldn't surprise anyone to be honest. But Ishant can always be bought later in the day.

K Gowtham Goes To Lucknow
India all-rounder K Gowtham, base price of Rs 50 lakh, has been picked up by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 90 lakh.
 
Somebody will need to be out of their mind to buy Eoin Morgan. He has turned into a passenger in recent times.

Lol Odean Smith hit some 25-30 runs quickfire and he gets sold at 6 crore. Had he not done that, would have probably been sold at half the price.
 
What I like about IPL is that it don't fall for big names while picking international players. It don't fall for names like Steve Smith, Labuschange, Morgan, Shamshi, Finch etc. They only pick players that are in peak of their prowess in T20 cricket. This is what makes IPL the most competitive league.

Big international players are the ones who surprise India in big ICC tournaments. IPL may be competitive for you but looking at the performances of some indian players in ICC tournaments, it just proves that it can never compete with internationals. :rabada2 :inti
 
Shamsi and Adil Rashid should have been picked at their base prices. But then overseas spinners have historically been neglected by Franchises.

True, IPL auctions used to be a joke before. It used to be this guy performed vs India, pick him.

I guess other teams have learnt from CSK/MI process and rely on scouting instead.

Jansen was seen in IPL before he wrecked India in tests. So clearly the player/scout network is on the up and up.

IPL has nothing to do with International cricket, Indian cricket or ICC events. It is just the best T20 league in the world whose beneficiary is BCCI. As far as its competing with international cricket is concerned, that was never the intention. But the fact that ICC gives it a 2 month of official uninterrupted window where no international cricket takes place...tells you a story about its importance.

Nope...bcoz players will play for their IPL franchise and not for their national side. Just like what South African players did last time. So to avoid this clash, ICC gave IPL a separate window.

I am quite sure Tilak Verma will surprise us all. If MI-CSK get into a bidding war over one player, their scouts have unearthed a big potential player.

Archer sold to Mumbai Indians for 8 million

Archer & Bumrah together will be a sight :akhtar
 
If Archer plays, that is some sight to watch. Mumbai were mostly sleeping in the auction from yesterday onwards only but they seem to be hitting jackpot only. Archer in pace attack, Kishan and Brevis in batting alongside Rohit, SKY and Pollard.
 
Mumbai Indians got their fast bowlers in Mills and Archer and their lower order hitter in Davids. The spin department still not that impressive yet but Markande has potential
 
Archer won't be playing this year. Mumbai invested in him for future.
 
I was expecting U19 wicket keeper Dinesh Bana to fetch atleast some 50-70 lacs. There aren't enough good WKs who can bat as well.
Surprised that his name wasn't there in auction list.
Let's see if he comes in this accelerated auction.
 
Charu Sharma looks so tired..poor guy.

Why cant they have 2 auctioneer?

Understandably. Charu was roped in all sudden for a job he has never done before I guess. Though he is an experienced anchor/presentor, each job requires different efforts.

But it's quite shocking that BCCI didn't have any backup auctioneer on standby. Or Hugh Edmadeas doesn't have any assistent for this kind of situation. Charu saved BCCI's face bigtime here. He has been very impressive so far.
