Welcome to the updates from Day 2 of the IPL mega auction at the mega auction in Jeddah on Monday.

Capped batters to go under the hammer first up today will be Mayank Agarwal, Faf du Plessis, Glenn Phillips, Rovman Powell, Ajinkya Rahane, Prithvi Shaw and Kane Williamson.

Rishabh Pant pipped Shreyas Iyer to become the costliest buy in IPL's history with a Rs 27 crore winning bid from Lucknow Super Giants, while Venkatesh Iyer was the surprise show-stopper as teams expectedly broke the bank for marquee Indian players on Day 1 on Sunday.

Venkatesh was also a part of Shreyas' triumphant KKR outfit and the franchise had to pay a whopping Rs 23.75 crore to bring him back via the Right to Match card after not retaining him.

Among the second set of players, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal drew an impressive winning bid of Rs 18 crore from Punjab Kings while former LSG captain KL Rahul turned out to be a bargain buy for Delhi Capitals at Rs 14 crore.

Arshdeep was the first player to be sold in the mega auction and he ended up fetching the same price that Punjab Kings would have had to pay to retain him as their leading player.

Australian veteran Starc got a much lower price than last year's Rs 24.75 crore and was sold to Delhi Capitals for Rs 11.75 crore this time. England's Jos Buttler went to Gujarat Titans for Rs 15.75 crore.

Venkatesh's hefty price tag that attracted the most attention.

Another significant development was India veteran R Ashwin going back to the franchise of his home city -- Chennai Super Kings.

Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra were two good buy backs for CSK in the session, going for Rs 6.25 crore and Rs four crore respectively.

Destructive Australian batter Jake Fraser McGurk went back to Delhi Capitals for Rs nine crore after the franchise exercised its RTM.

However, IPL stalwart David Warner had no takers on the opening day of the auction as he went unsold at a base price of Rs two crore. Similar was the case of Indian batter Devdutt Padikkal. They might come back in the accelerated auction on Monday.

Towards the end of the day, it was time for fast bowlers to land fat paychecks. Among them were Josh Hazlewood (Rs 12.5 crore, RCB), Prasidh Krishna (Rs 9.5 crore, Gujarat Titans), Avesh Khan (Rs 9.75 crore, LSG), Trent Boult (Rs 12.5 crore, Mumbai Indians) and Archer.

This is the second time an IPL auction is being held outside the country after last year's event in Dubai.
