It wasn't a surprise that Chennai Super Kings did the most efficient bidding once again, no surprises as the Men in Yellow got back a couple of their Kiwi stars in Devon Conway (Rs 6.25 crore) and Rachin Ravindra (Rs 4 crore) and added a couple of handy options in Rahul Tripathi (INR 3.4 crore) and Vijay Shankar (INR 1.2 crore) at bargain rates. The biggest bid came from CSK for the Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad for whom they doubled the amount when the Titans were in to RTM him. Among other purchases, it was a homecoming for R Ashwin as well, as the senior off-spinner returned to the side after 10 years even if they had to overpay for him at INR 9.75 crore.
