IPL 2017 auction - As it happened

As expected, there were a couple of big buys, economy picks and some surprises during the 2017 IPL auction which saw 66 players being sold. What was heartening to see was two Afghanistan players and one UAE cricketer being picked.

Ben Stokes became the most expensive overseas buy in IPL, bought by Rising Pune Supergiants for Rs. 14.5 Crore. His England team-mate, Tymal Mills, was the second highest buy of IPL 2017, going to the RCB franchise for a sum of Rs. 12 Crore.

Mohammad Nabi, the Afghanistan allrounder, was picked by SRH for his base price of Rs. 30 Lakh while his Afghanistan team-mate Rashid Khan was purchased by the same franchise for Rs. 4 Crore. Chirag Suri, the UAE cricketer, went to Gujarat Lions for Rs. 10 Lakh.

There were a few surprises as well, with the likes of Imran Tahir, Ishant Sharma and Irfan Pathan finding no bidders. That fact that Tahir, the No. 1 ranked T20I bowler, was ignored, was one of the important talking points of the auction, along with the selection of the England players.

T Natarajan, a promising Tamil Nadu pacer, and K Gowtham, the Karnataka all-rounder, were among the unheralded players who earned the big moolahs. Read their story, here.

Disappointing to not get Ben Stokes?Akash Ambani: "When you enter an auction you leave disappointment outside the room. They were options for us but we arent disappointed. We always had backup strategies. We knew what type of players we needed in our squad."

Nita Ambani:"We have always backed youngsters. Were very happy to get these boys on board. That has been our core strength for a very long time. I have been involved since season 3. We got Shikhar [Dhawan] in and we had to let him go but we backed him and he has gone on to play for India. As soon as there is an opening they get the chance to play. The environment is very conducive too. You have guys like Sachin [Tendulkar] talking or Harbhajan [Singh] talking to youngsters.

Ricky Ponting's exit: "Hes coaching Australia against Sri Lanka. He wanted to coach Australia and you know where Anil [Kumble] is right now. Our philosophy is as long as we can stable we would love it but if there are opportunities then we are happy for them."Nita: "We also have Robin Singh and Jonty Rhodes we have had with them for a long time now."

Akash on Gowtham: K Gotham is 27 and he has been in and round for a while. Everyone knows hes an off spinner and he can be a pinchy (batsman). More than anything we were looking for leaders and he will be an asset on the field. He knows what he can do with the ball but more than that hes a leader.

Return of Mitchell Johnson:Nita: "Mumbai Indians we really have a very unique set up. We have seniors who are mentors and youngsters... Pollard was the only cricketer we bought in the third season and we really backed him. He continues to play for us now. Were really happy to have Mitchell Johnson back in our team. He played for us in 2013 when we won the title and it was great to see him bowl with Malinga. We hope he can win another title for us. Were happy to have him back."

Amrit Thomas, Royal Challengers Pvt Ltd chairman:

On Tymal Mills: "Our strategy is very clear. We need to get our first XI in order. Our ground is really small and our first innings score is roundabout 190. Especially with Starc not available, Tymal Mills was a great buy. We wouldve done whatever was required to get him. Hes a T20 specialist in our estimate and our view is that he will be available."

Mitchell Starc? "I think this is a game about the product on the field. Players create the product on the field. When you have internationals players who have a tough workload, you need to find a solution. We love Starc. I hope hell be part of our plan as we go forward. Given the workload fast bowlers undergo, its hard. If we had insisted, he wouldve come in with that workload and increased the risk. Its as per regulations. It was planned. Pawan Negi: "Were looking at bowling options. We are looking at people who perform as allrounders and thats why we went for Negi. Negi will also suit Bangalore conditions well."

Stephen Fleming, chief coach of RPS, on Ben Stokes's signing: "Big player he is. He's the form allrounder. For this year we want to go in hard, so we're all in.With Ashwin at no eight, we have world class players. We might have a few weak areas.If you look at us on paper, we look very strong. It's a top eight that you really have to respect.With Stokes and Marsh as allrounders it gives you more balance in the side."

Sanjeev Goenka, the team owner, on Stokes: "He's a complete player. He completes our squad. We've been lacking this genre of player. We have many heroes, but this is one hero we were lacking. We knew he was going to go expensive. We believe he's going to be available for the first 14 games and right now we are focusing on the first 14 games. We are very happy. We pretty much knew we aren't going to get him at a lesser.

Steven Smith been consulted? Oh yes, Steven Smith, Stephen Fleming... everyone has been part of this decision. We didn't go for the individual, we wanted to fill those gaps that we had in our team and Ben Stokes clearly our No. 1, 2 and 3 preference.

At the end of the first round, here's a look at the squads.

Here's Harsha Bhogle's take on the auction so far, on Facebook Live

Chris Jordan, the England allrounder who played for RCB last year, is up for grabs. He has a base price of Rs. 50 Lakh, but no takers for him. Chris Jordan goes unsold.

Sean Abbott, the Australia allrounder with a base price of Rs. 30 Lakh, goes unsold.

Corey Anderson, released by MI, is up next - with a base price of Rs. 1 Crore. DD begin the bidding and are the only team to bid. Corey Anderson sold to DD for Rs. 1 Crore.

An uncapped IPL player, and a hot property in the current auction, is up next - with a base price of Rs. 2 Crore. Obviously teams are interested. MI and RCB in a heated bidding war for Stokes, DD join in. Bids have crossed 6 Crore and still going upward. KKR, surprisingly, haven't entered the fray for Stokes. It's between MI and DD and the bids have reached 10 Crore. And SRH enter with a bid of 11 Crore, DD still in the fray and RPS decide to join in, with a bid of 13.5 and SRH out at 14.5. Stokes sold to RPS for Rs. 14.5 Crore, the second highest buy ever in the history of IPL and the most expensive overseas signing.

Irfan Pathan, released by RPS, is the next player. He starts with a base price of Rs. 50 Lakh. None of the teams are interested though. Irfan Pathan goes unsold.

Angelo Mathews, the Sri Lanka allrounder, is up next - with a bse price of Rs. 2 Crore. Just as the hammer was about to go down, DD decide to bid at the last moment. Angelo Mathews sold to Delhi Daredevils for his base price of Rs. 2 Crore.

Pawan Negi, the most expensive buy last year, is up for grabs. He starts with a base price of Rs. 30 Lakh. RPS bid first and Gujarat Lions join in. Both teams seem pretty interested in the left-armer as the bids go up. RPS opted to back out when Gujarat bid Rs. 55 Lakh. Just as the hammer was about to go down, RCB decide to join. Gujarat back out at Rs. 80 Lakh and SRH decide to join. The bids has reached 1 Crore and SRH decide to opt out. Pawan Negi goes to RCB for Rs. 1 Crore.

Saurabh Tiwary, the left-handed batsman is up next, with a base price of Rs. 30 Lakh. He was with the Pune franchise last year, but no team is interested in him this time. He goes unsold. Capped allrounders are next.

Ross Taylor, the New Zealand batsman, is up next. He had a base price of Rs. 50 Lakh but no takers for him. He goes unsold.

Alex Hales, another England batsman, is up for grabs. He has a base price of Rs. 1 Crore. Teams though aren't interested in him and he goes unsold.

Faiz Fazal, the left-handed batsman, is up next. He has a base price of Rs. 30 Lakh. No bids for him either and the 31-year-old goes unsold.

Jason Roy, the England batsman who is uncapped in the IPL, is up next. He has a base price of Rs. 1 Crore. No bids for Jason Roy, who goes unsold.

Eoin Morgan, the England limited-overs skipper is up next. He has a base price of Rs. 2 Crore. Kings XI Punjab have bid first and they are the only team to bid. He goes to KXIP for his base price.

The hammer goes down. Madley begins, he reads out the rules and regulations of the auction. Batsmen are up for grabs in the first round and the first player is Martin Guptill. He has a base price of Rs. 50 Lakh. No bids for Guptill, who goes unsold.

The event gets underway BCCI CEO Rahul Johri starting with his welcome speech ahead of the #IPLAuction. He hands over to the famed auctioneer Richard Madley.

Auction is set to begin in a while. The key decision makers are making their way to their respective tables. Among them is Mahela Jayawardene, the new head coach of the Mumbai Indians side.

Remember, Kolkata Knight Riders will be without Andre Russell, who's serving a one year ban after a doping verdict went against him. On the eve of the auction, Mitchell Starc decided to part ways with RCB. Expect both these franchises to bid big for the likes of Ben Stokes and Tymal Mills. Meanwhile, MS Dhoni is no longer the skipper of Rising Pune Supergiant; Steven Smith has taken over. Having released a handful of players ahead of the auction (including Kevin Pietersen, who won't be part of the auction), they have 10 slots to fill, including four overseas positions.

There are also five Afghanistan players among the 130 overseas players up for grabs. The 359 players include 62 batsmen, 117 bowlers, 150 all-rounders and 30 wicketkeepers, and among them are 229 uncapped players. Who'll end up with big bucks? How many surprise buys will we witness? There will be some disappointments too. Brace yourselves for some high-octane action off the field!

Who are the marque players for the 2017 auction? There are seven of them, who have opted for the highest base price of Rs. 2 Crore: Eoin Morgan, Angelo Mathews, Ben Stokes, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Johnson, Ishant Sharma and Chris Woakes.

There are 15 more who fall under the bracket of Rs. 1.5 Crore and 1. Crore. Thee players are Jonny Bairstow, Kyle Abbott, Jason Holder, Brad Haddin, Nathan Lyon, Trent Boult, Alex Hales, Jason Roy, Corey Anderson, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Kagiso Rabada, Marlon Samuels, Daniel Christian, Grant Elliott and Andile Phehlukwayo.

Harsha Bhogle, our in-house expert, previews the 2017 auction:

So, now that we have a fair idea of what the teams look like and an insight into the franchises' requirement, let's look at the players. Who will get the big bucks? Who are the ones to watch out for? Ben Stokes is one who would keep the auctioneer Richard Madley busy. Few other England players like Tymal Mills, Jason Roy and Eoin Morgan too will keep the teams interested. Narbavi lists the players to watch out for.

Cricbuzz spoke to several personnel associated with the franchises to understand what the teams will be looking for in this auction. Here's the detailed analysis.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the 2017 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction. As many as 359 players will go under the hammer but the maximum number of players that can be picked is 78, with each team allowed a squad strength of 27.
