A lot of dreams were fulfilled while quite a few were shattered in the IPL 2021 Auction as the eight franchised shelled out a cumulative sum of Rs 145.3 Crores to fill 57 out of the 61 available slots ahead of the 14th season of the cash-rich league.

Glenn Maxwell, as usual, broke the bank at the auction table as he was racked up by the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore for a staggering amount of Rs 14.25 crore.

The biggest talking point of the day, however, was Proteas all-rounder Chris Morris, who shattered all the previously held records to become the most expensive cricketer to be bought at the auction table. Morris was bought for a mind-numbing Rs 16.25 Crore by the Rajasthan Royals.

Other notable buys in the IPL 2021 Auction were Jhye Richardson (Punjab Kings, Rs 14 Crore), Moeen Ali (Chennai Super Kings, Rs 7 Crore), Riley Meredith (Punjab Kings, Rs 8 Crore), and Krishnappa Goutham, who broke Krunal Pandya’s record to become most expensive Indian uncapped player to be bought on the auction table. Gowtham was picked by CSK for Rs 9.25 Crore.

That said, there were quite a few high-profile players, who failed to attract any bid in the IPL 2021 Auction, the most prominent being Alex Hales, Jason Roy, Mitchell McLenaghan, Glenn Phillips, Alex Carey, Evin Lewis, to name a few.
