KKR IPL Auction Day 2 Live: After a rather gung-ho first day, Kolkata Knight Riders were fortunate, and sometimes forced, to make some shrewd budget buys on Day 2 of the IPL 2022 mega auction. Two-time IPL champions KKR got the likes of Umesh Yadav, Mohammad Nabi, Tim Southee, Alex Hales, Sam Billings, Chamila Karunaratne and Ajinkya Rahane for their base price.
They had bought five players on the first day, bringing back the likes of Pat Cummins, Shivam Mavi, Nitish Rana among others. However, their costliest purchase on Day 1 was the highly-rated middle-order batter and a strong captaincy candidate Shreyas Iyer, that too for Rs 12.25 crore.
From their budget of Rs 90 crore, KKR just had 45 lakh left with all 25 slots filled.
