IPL 2019 Auction: How the 8 teams look like for next season

After an eventful auction day, the only thing left is now for the 2019 Indian Premier League to commence from March. A total of ₹1,06,80,00,000 was spent in the players auction, where a total of 60 players were sold out of the 351, where 40 were Indians (Capped and Uncapped) and a total of 20 overseas players were sold.

Unheralded architect-turned-cricketer Varun Chakravarthy Tuesday fetched a sensational bid of Rs 8.4 crore, more than 40 times his base price, before veteran Yuvraj Singh finally found a buyer at the IPL players' auction that had an unmissable Caribbean flavour to it.

KXIP, who had the maximum money going into the auction, also spent big on England all-rounder Sam Curran, buying him for Rs 7.2 crore, the most for an overseas player on Tuesday.

Out of the 20 overseas slots available, six were sealed by the Caribbean players including Shimron Hetmyer, Carlos Brathwaite, Nicholas Pooran, Oshane Thomas, Keemo Paul and Sherfane Rutherford.
