The auction for IPL 2019 took place today in Jaipur, where almost 350 players were taking part in the bid. While there were a few obvious choices, there were some surprising ones as well.
For instance, Varun Chakravarthy reeled in 8.4 crores from King XI Punjab. In fact, it is not just Chakravarthy. Several other domestic players were in high in demand during the auction.
Jaydev Unadkhat was another surprise at the auction. The Rajasthan Royals were willing to shell out 8.4 crores for him too. Prayas Ray Barman was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore while Prabhsimran Singh was chosen by Kings XI Punjab.
Coming to the big names, Yuvraj Singh was picked up by Mumbai Indians. On the other hand, Martin Guptill was raked in by Sunrisers Hyderabad. We however feel that Shimron Hetmyer who was picked by RCB could have gone for a better amount.
