Aiden Markram, who has done well in the T20 format lately, was the first name to pop up on the second day and many sides went after him.

Interestingly, several overseas stars like Dawid Malan, Marnus Labuschagne, Eoin Morgan, and Aaron Finch went unsold. The same was the case for local stars like Cheteshwar Pujara and Saurabh Tiwary. Then came the second set of all-rounders and England’s Liam Livingstone was the first to go under the hammer.

Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans showed great interest in all-rounders as they got the likes of Dominic Drakes, Jayant Yadav and Vijay Shankar for a bargain.
