# The headline makers of the second day of the auction:

- Karn Sharma, an uncapped leg-spinner who played for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2013, sparked a bidding war. Eventually, it was his old team, the Sunrisers Hyderabad, who went as far as they could to secure his services for Rs 3.75 crore.

 

- KXIP went all out to strengthen their pace attack by getting Rishi Dhawan for Rs 3 crore.

 

- When players, who went UNSOLD on Day 1, were brought back for bidding, the spinner-less squad of KXIP quickly snapped up Murali Karthik for the base price of Rs 1 crore.

 

- Another one of those purchases was that of Ross Taylor who was ignored on Day 1. In this case, the Kiwi middle-order batsman was bought by Delhi Daredevils for his base price of Rs 2 crore.

RCB break bank for Yuvraj Singh

Virat Kohli had publicly announced the desire to include Yuvraj Singh in his already formidable batting line-up. Royal Challengers Bangalore broke their bank to include India's 2011 World Cup hero and paid a record Rs 14 crore to buy the left-handed batting all-rounder in the first round of Indian Premier League players auction in Bangalore on Wednesday. Gautam Gambhir was the most expensive IPL player, having received Rs 11.04 crore from Kolkata Knight Riders in January 2011. Yuvraj also outshone England discard Kevin Pietersen, who will stay with Delhi Daredevils. The Delhi franchise, the only team to start from scratch, will pay a modest Rs 9 crore to the maverick Pietersen, who also became the first 'joker' in the auctions. (Read more)

T20 berth and IPL jackpot: Yuvraj Singh's prayers answered

On Wednesday in Bangalore, Yuvraj was bought for a record fee of Rs 14 crore to play for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League 2014. The previous highest was Gautam Gambhir, who got a whopping 11.04 crore from Kolkata Knight Riders in 2011. (Read more)

"Yes, I am very happy but I never thought that I would get this kind of a price. Actually, I came to know a bit later as we didn't have access to television in the dressing room," Karthik told PTI today after being the second biggest draw in the auctions following Yuvraj Singh (Rs 14 crore). "I was actually pretty angry with myself after getting out and was sitting quietly," he said. (Read more)

Surprised by lack of bids for Ross Taylor, Cameron White: Rahul Dravid

A bunch of quality international cricketers on Wednesday went unsold on the first day of the IPL 7 players' auction here, but what surprised former India captain Rahul Dravid the most was that hard-hitting Kiwi batsman Ross Taylor and Australia's Cameron White did not find a buyer. Taylor and White are among the 144 players who went unsold in the players' auction at a city hotel here.
