IPL Auction 2021: THIS is how much each franchise spent in Chennai

The auction for the Indian Premier League (IPL) saw 57 players getting picked from the pool of 298 players before the start of the cash-rich tournament in the month of April. Total 130 players went under the hammer, out of which 73 players remained unsold.

From breaking the record of being the most expensive player in the history of the auction to one of the captains of an international side not finding any takers, the 2021 IPL player auction saw it all. While the bowlers and the all-rounders were in huge demand, the batsmen had an off day, either they went for their base prices or were not even picked.

While each team has a salary cap of Rs 85 crore, however, for the mini-auction, they had limited purse to buy players for 61 slots.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) had the maximum available salary cap of Rs 53.20 crore, followed by Rajasthan Royals (Rs 37.85 crore), Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rs 35.40 crore).

The salary cap available for other teams was: Delhi Capitals (Rs 13.40 crore), Kolkata Knight Riders (Rs 10.75 crore), Mumbai Indians (Rs 15.35 crore) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (Rs 10.75 crore).
