IPL 2022 will be a 10-team affair from this season and the mega auction ahead of the season has started in Bangalore. The first day of the auction is already over and the proceedings are in their final stages. There were some surprises in the auction as some players got huge amounts unexpectedly while some big names were left unsold.

In the accelerated auction on day 2 , Jofra Archer was picked by Mumbai Indians for Rs 8 Crore. MI paid the amount in spite of knowing that the England pacer will be unavailable for the upcoming season but will be available in future editions.
