It's time for Shreyas Iyer to take center stage. The IPL-winning captain enters the auction with a base price of Rs 2 crore.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) waste no time, kicking off the bidding as they look to reclaim their title-winning skipper. Punjab Kings (PBKS) enter the bidding for Shreyas Iyer, with head coach Ricky Ponting leveraging his past association with Iyer at the Delhi Capitals. The battle intensifies as the bid swiftly escalates to Rs 5 crore, with PBKS taking the lead at Rs 6 crore.

The paddles keep rising steadily at the PBKS and KKR tables, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown between the two franchises. Delhi Capitals (DC) jump into the bidding war for Shreyas Iyer, going head-to-head with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Both tables engage in aggressive bidding, with KKR determined to reclaim their former captain.

In a dramatic moment, Dwayne Bravo consults KKR CEO Venky Mysore, who signals that they are stepping out of the race.

With KKR bowing out, DC take the lead at Rs 10 crore. But the excitement isn't over.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) return to the fray, eager to shake things up. With both DC and PBKS in need of captains, the bidding intensifies. Delhi Capitals (DC) push the bid higher, escalating it to Rs 13 crore as they make a strong play for Shreyas Iyer. However, Punjab Kings (PBKS), armed with the deepest pockets in the auction, remain undeterred.

With the ability to secure both Iyer and Rishabh Pant, PBKS are in a prime position to dominate. The stakes soar as DC regain the lead at Rs 15 crore, refusing to back down. The intense tug-of-war between the two franchises underscores Iyer's immense value as a leader and match-winner.
