IPL 2020: Full squads of 8 franchises after Player auction in Kolkata

The IPL 2020 auction ended in Kolkata on Thursday where quite a few Players made headlines - both known and relatively unknown faces. While Players like Martin Guptill, Manoj Tiwary, Barinder Sran, Cheteshwara Pujara and Vinay Kumar joined the unsold list, Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell and a few others shattered the cash counters.

The Aussie spearhead saw a massive bidding war for him before Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) secured him for a whopping price of INR 15.5 crore. Not only did he become the most expensive foreign buy in the IPL, he just fell INR 50 lakh short of the all-time IPL buy a record of INR 16 crore, which currently belongs to retired Yuvraj Singh - who earned the mega-contract in 2015 when he Delhi Daredevils had purchased him.

Considering how loved South African cricketers are in India, especially Dale Steyn, it was a moment for joy for Steyn fans when Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bought up for his base price of INR 2 crore.
