South African allrounder Marco Jansen was the big earner on the second day of the IPL auction in Jeddah, with Punjab Kings buying him at a price of INR 7 crore.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals went up against each other for Indian allrounders, with RCB snapping up Krunal Pandya for INR 5.75 crore and RR getting Nitish Rana for INR 4.2 crore.
