Best wishes to all the teams,&quot; Shukla said after 66 players, including 27 overseas players, were sold to the franchises at the auction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Among the costliest buys, England&#39;s Ben Stokes and Tymal Mills got a whopping Rs 14.5 crore and Rs 12 crore deal from Rising Pune Supergiants (RPSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/england-cricketers-emerge-hot-buys-at-ipl-auction-tahir-ishant-and-irfan-unpicked--24076\">Also Read:England cricketers emerge hot buys at IPL auction; Tahir, Ishant and Irfan unpicked<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Interestingly, Stokes&#39; limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan was taken at a base price of Rs 2 crore by Kings XI Punjab while all-rounder Chris Woakes was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for Rs 4 crore. English opener Jason Roy was picked by the Gujarat Lions for Rs 1 crore while pacer Chris Jordan went for Rs 50 lakh to Sunrisers Hyderabad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But the surprise package was 18-year-old leg-spinner Rashid Khan (Rs 4 crore) and all-rounder Mohammed Nabi (Rs 30 lakh) being bought by defending champions Hyderabad, making them the first Afghanistan cricketers to be bought by an IPL franchise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, the day also witnessed some of the top names including top-ranked One-day Internationals (ODI) and Twenty20I bowler Imran Tahir of South Africa and India Test stars Cheteshwar Pujara, Ishant Sharma and premier all-rounder Irfan Pathan, failing to find any takers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The IPL will be played from April 5 to May 21, with the opening match and final scheduled to take place in Hyderabad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
