Indian Premier League 2020: Full squads of all eight teams after auction

Sixty-two cricketers were sold during the auction for the 2020 IPL, at Kolkata. Of them, the most spectacular was of Pat Cummins, who, at INR 15.5 crores, became the most expensive overseas cricketer in IPL history by far. Cummins was acquired minutes after Glenn Maxwell set a new record when Kings XI Punjab reclaimed him for INR 10.75 crores. Kolkata Knight Riders acquired Cummins following some frantic bidding from Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Other highlights include the appointment of KL Rahul as Punjab captain (after R Ashwin moved to Delhi Capitals); an expected frantic bidding over the in-form Shimron Hetmyer; Tom Banton being picked up by the Knight Riders for only INR 20 lakhs; and 48-year-old Pravin Tambe getting a break, also for Kolkata.
