IPL Auction 2018, Day 2 Highlights: Jaydev Unadkat Most Expensive Indian, Chris Gayle 3rd Time Lucky
IPL Auction Day 2, Highlights: Jaydev Unadkat became the most expensive Indian player on the second day of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 auction. Karnataka all-rounder Gowtham Krishnappa earned himself a massive payday as Rajasthan Royals shelled out a whopping Rs 6.20 crore for him.
Highlights
-
Day 1 of the IPL Player Auction was held on Saturday
-
Ben Stokes was the biggest buy on Day 1
-
KL Rahul, Manish Pandey were the most expensive Indians
Left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat became the most expensive Indian player in the 2018 Indian Premier League Auction after he attracted a bid of Rs 11.50 crore from the Rajasthan Royals. Unadkat beat KL Rahul and Manish Pandey who bagged Rs 11 crore contracts on the opening day of the auction on Saturday. Rahul was sold to Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), while SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) picked up Pandey. Unadkat is the second most expensive buy this year after England all-rounder Ben Stokes, who was also bought by Rajasthan for Rs 12.50 crore. While it appeared to be a battle between KXIP and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for Unadkat, Rajasthan made a quiet entry towards the end to win the bid for him.
West Indies batting superstar Chris Gayle was picked up by Kings XI Punjab for his base price of Rs 2 crore at the auction. Interestingly, no team, including his parent franchise of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), moved a muscle when the big Jamaican's name came up on two occasions, once as part of the marquee players and then as an unsold player. The auctioneer, Richard Medley, then asked teams to submit a list of players they wanted to be recalled. Gayle, who was among those 15 players, was snapped up by Punjab.
Sandeep Lamichhane created history to become the first Nepal cricketer to be bought by an Indian Premier League franchise. Lamichhane was picked up by the Delhi Daredevils for his base price Rs 20 lakh. Canada wicketkeeper Tariq Hamza and Lamichhane were the only two players part from Associate nations in the 580-player auction list.
Karnataka all-rounder Gowtham Krishnappa earned himself a massive payday on Day 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 auction, as Rajasthan Royals shelled out a whopping Rs 6.20 crore for him. Given that his base price was Rs 20 lakh, the 29-year-old hit a day dirt with a deal 31 times that value. Last season, Mumbai Indians bought Gowtham for Rs 2 crore. Gowtham became Rajasthan's first buy on Day 2 of the auction.

9:15 IST: Hello and welcome to the second day's player auction of the Indian Premier League.
However, Afghanistan's teen sensation Rashid Khan made headlines yet again by bagging a bumper deal of Rs 9 crore after SunRisers Hyderabad retained him with the Right To Match (RTM) card, drubbing Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) bid. It was a field day for the Indian cricketers as the franchises did not shy away from breaking their banks for the Indian players. Among Indians, KL Rahul and Manish Pandey grabbed the highest deal of Rs 11 crore each. However, former Kolkata Knight Riders captain Gautam Gambhir, who led his team to two IPL titles, was picked up by the Delhi Daredevils for Rs 2.80 crore after KXIP stopped bidding at Rs 2.60 crore.
For the uncapped players, Krunal Pandya and Jofra Archer from West Indies led the way in the IPL auction. Krunal bagged a whopping Rs 8.8 crore as Mumbai Indians used their Right to Match (RTM) to retain him. Krunal is now the highest paid uncapped player in IPL history. While little-known Archer from the West Indies attracted Rs 7.2 crore winning bid from Rajasthan Royals.
