Day 2 of the Indian Premier League Mega Auction began today with its share of surprises, as capped Indian players like Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane, Mayank Agarwal and Shardul Thakur went unsold in the opening round.
New Zealand skipper and star batter Kane Williamson was yet another name that failed to find any takers. His compatriot Glenn Phillips, too, went unsold.
The players may be brought back into the auction in the later stages if the franchises express interest.
Among the capped batters who went under the hammer today, West Indian T20I captain Rovman Powell was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for his base price of Rs 1.5 crore. South African veteran Faf du Plessis, who played for Royal Challengers Bengaluru till last season, was sold to Delhi Capitals for Rs 2 crore.
