A total of 97 players went under the hammer on Day 1 of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. 74 out of 97 players have been successfully purchased by the 10 franchises while the rest 23 didn’t find any bidder. However, the unsold players will once again go under the hammer in the final round on Day 2.
The event, unfortunately, also saw an hour delay as Auctioneer Hugh Edmeades collapsed during the 25th bid of the day. As Hugh got medical attention, Charu Sharma continued the event as an Auctioneer.
Ishan Kishan earns the highest bid of the day as Mumbai Indians retained him for a whopping amount of 15.25 crore. The keeper-batsman also becomes the 4th most expensive player in the history of the auctions, Chris Morris (16.25 Crore in 2021), Yuvraj Singh (16 Crore in 2015), Pat Cummins (15.50 Crore in 2020) being the top 3.
KKR might appoint Shreyas Iyer as their new captain as they stretched the bid so far and got him at the end for 12.25 crore while David Warner, another captaincy material getting sold for just 6.25 crore was surprising. Delhi has bagged Australian opener and they already have Rishabh Pant as captain. Below is the full list of players who went under the hammer on Day 1.
