Bengaluru: The marathon two-day IPL Auction ended on Sunday night, with 204 players out of 590 who had been listed bagging contracts.
As is the trend with mega auctions for the world’s richest T20 league, the second day threw up a few surprises as well.
Unlike Saturday, foreign players ruled the roost, with two lesser fancied allrounders earning the fattest purses.
England allrounder Liam Livingstone became the costliest overseas player of IPL 2022 auction after Punjab Kings bought him for Rs 11.5 crore. Tim David of Singapore, who has been playing in T20 leagues round the world, was roped in by Mumbai Indians at a cost of Rs 8.25 crore.

The auction signalled the end of the road for IPL veteran Suresh Raina, who remained unsold.
