Aiden Markram Starts The Day
Set 12 starts the day and it's Sourav Ganguly picking the players. And he's picked Markram first.
Rs 1 crore is the South African's base price and Punjab Kings open the bidding for the day. A little silence but Hyderabad then enter the bid as it stands at Rs 1.60 crore. Punjab continue the bidding, but at Rs 2.6 crore, Hyderabad buy their first player of the day.
Rahane Bagged by KKR
The former Indian Test vice-captain has his base price set at Rs 1 crore and he's bagged by KKR with no one else entering the bid.

Mandeep Singh Goes to Delhi

Livingstone Starts First Bidding War on Day 2
His base price is Rs 1 crore and the English 28-year-old has Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings outbidding each other.
The bid moves to Rs 10 crore, between the two teams and that's where it stands for a bit before Sunrisers Hyderabad join and make it Rs 10.25 crore. Punjab upps it to Rs 10.50 crore but SRH have a rebuttal again.
The bid stands with Punjab at Rs 11.50 crore and Hyderabad make a few phone calls before pulling out.

Odean Smith Bags 6 Crore Contract
The 25-year-old West Indian all-rounder has his base price at Rs 1 crore and there's interest from Hyderabad, Punjab and Rajasthan for Odean Smith.
Smith's good showing with the bat and ball in the recently-concluded ODIs against India clearly seems to have made its mark.
Punjab and Hyderabad have 17 crore left while Rajasthan have just over 12 crore in their auction purse so this may just be the last of the big buys for either of the three.
It's Punjab that bag him for Rs 6 crore!
SRH Trumps Mumbai For Marco Jansen
Mumbai show their commitment for Marco with Aakash Ambani holding his bidding paddle up even before the bid starts.
The South African 21-year-old played 2 matches for Mumbai last season and the bidding moves between Mumbai, Rajasthan and Hyderabad.

Punjab Bag Raj Angad Bawa
He's the second-last player in this set and Raj Bawa has Mumbai and Hyderabad bidding for him.
