Yesterday's Brief Report:

After an exhilarating first day (Read the report) where franchisees oscillated from being extravagant to the stingy, things are expected to be much more even on the second day where the fate of 292 uncapped players as well as the unsold players will be decided.

While the Delhi Daredevils and the Kings XI Punjab came up trumps with some smart buys, the big ticket purchase was that of Yuvraj Singh by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for a whopping Rs 14 crore, an amount they have now contested with the IPL governing council.

The teams now have limited budgets to play around with and it would be interesting to see how they pick from the uncapped bunch. Interestingly, Rajasthan Royals are the only team to have retained an uncapped player in the form of Kerala keeper-batsman Sanju Samson.

While the RCB has the least funds available at Rs.1.8 crore, Kings XI is sitting pretty with another 14.2 crore kitty.

Rajasthan Royals also have a bag of Rs.12.1 crore while Kolkata Knight Riders can spend Rs.9 crore with Delhi Daredevils (Rs.8.6 crore) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (Rs.8.4 crore) also have enough in the bag for some decent buys. Reigning champions Mumbai Indians, who picked up big-hitting Kiwi Corey Anderson, have another Rs.5.15 crore to splurge.
