IPL Auction LIVE Updates: The first bidding war of the day is for South Africa all-rounder Marco Jansen. He was pretty much the only bright light for the Proteas in their recent debacle of a T20I series against India. MI, the team he first played for in the IPL, make he initial bid and PBKS stay interested from then on. MI bow out at 2.40cr, GT dual with PBKS and the latter finally win the bid at INR 7 crore.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: CSK make the first bid, LSG make one counter and then sign off. PBKS then have a long deliberation and then decide to not use RTM. Sam Curran returns to CSK.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: GT are the first to bid for Sundar and they have a brief dual with LSG before sealing it.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: We move quickly to the capped all-rounders where Shardul Thakur is the first name that comes up. He is unsold like his Mumbai teammates Rahane and Shaw.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: Wow, Mayank Agarwal was expected to fetch some good bucks in this set but he has gone unsold. Ajinkya Rahane is at the fag end of his career, he didn't have a good domestic season personally and so not much of a surprise that he was unsold but Prithvi Shaw finding no takers says a lot about how much he has fallen.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: Du Plessis gone for base price as well. No attempt from RCB at all to take him back and DC have Du Plessis' services next season.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: First sale of the day and KKR take Rovman Powell at base price.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: Ok one might say that Williamson's T20 stocks have gone down in recent years but that can't be said for Phillips. But there you go.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: Well his name is called out a few times and in the end, he goes unsold. He may return later in the day but how about it!

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: Base price of INR 2 crore for the New Zealand legend.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: Right, Mallika Sagar has taken her place at the auction table, the IPL trophy to one side and the box of bails with players' names on it on the other. Here we go then!

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: All right just 10 under 10 minutes to go now. Some very interesting names coming up early on today.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: Capped batters will go under the hammer first today:

Mayank Agarwal

Faf du Plessis

Glenn Phillips

Rovman Powell

Ajinkya Rahane

Prithvi Shaw

Kane Williamson

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: All right about half an hour to go for the second day of bidding to start and so no surprises that we are starting to see franchise representatives stream into the room at the Abady Al Johar Arena in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: AB de Villiers says that RCB might just go for Will Jacks as an RTM option over Faf du Plessis because of the extra skill he provdes with the ball and the obvious age factor.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: AB de Villiers is part of the coverage today and when asked by Abhinav Mukund on whether he thinks Virat Kohli will return as captain for RCB, he says that he already knows who is going to be in that position.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: The Jio Cinema coverage has started and Eoin Morgan is of the opinion that Will Jacks will be the one to look out for. He also says that how much Sam Curran fetches will depend on when he comes up. If he comes up early, he might go for a biggie.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: As stated earlier, RCB go in with the highest remaining purse today. Secomnd are Mumbai Indians and third, despite being arguably busiest yesterday, are Punjab

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: The MI head coach says that they arerebeing as patient as needed. "When we saw the list of players, that it’s two halves to this auction. So we knew that if we’re doing this route, we have to be patient. There’s another 400 or more players on the list. So we could pick and choose and there’s a lot of talent that we’re going to pick wisely.

"At the end of the day, the auction is not just for the players that are in the auction and the purses that we have, it’s to the players that we retain, the value that we put into those players. To be in that situation where we are in the top 3 in purses going into day 2 and at the same time we secured nine slots in our playing XI that gives us a lot of comfort in how we want to execute."

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: There were quite a few instances of a player's price being bumped by a dramatic margin after the RTM card was used. In fact, that is how Rishabh Pant ended up becoming a 27 crore sale.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: Punjab Kings was the first IPL team for whom Glenn Maxwell played for more than a season. He was with them for four years from 2014 to 2017 and then for one season in 2020/21.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: Now Trent Boult is about 3 years old than the last time he played for MI but he ism also teaming up now with a Bumrah who seems utterly invincible at the moment.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: MI are sitting pretty but there is no doubt they need an opening partner for Rohit Sharma. They didn't really chase Ishan Kishan but they did give good chase for Quinton de Kock before pulling out. Apart from this, they might also need a couple of lower middle order bats and a spinner or two along with a couple of pacers as well. Don't be surprised if they go all out for Krunal Pandya.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: Well India have blasted Australia out of the park in Perth and it is a record win for them against their BGT rivals. They have beaten Australia by 295 runs, their biggest margin of victory in a Test in the country.

IPL Auction LIVE Updates: Faf Du Plessis is plying his trade at the Abu Dhabi T10 at the moment where he smashed 76 in 26 balls last night. He was asked about where he could go in the auction today.

"The game keeps surprising us. We saw some serious scores this year in T20 cricket with 260, 270, so anything is possible with the guys, the way that they play these days," he said.

"Yeah, I'm still very motivated for my own personal games. So if you're motivated to keep improving and making sure that your performance is always at a level where you're competing amongst the great players of the world, I still have that drive within myself to do that, and I'll push that for as long as that drive is there. So, for the time being, mentally I'm still fresh, and from a physical point of view, I still feel very motivated and fresh as well."
