The second most expensive player was Australia allrounder Cameron Green, who was sold to Mumbai Indians for Rs 17.5 crore.

Akash Ambani of MI said Green is someone we’ve tracked for 2-3 years and we thought he’s exactly what we needed. 

“He fits the right age profile for us; we’ve been looking for younger players for a few auctions,” said Ambani.
