Purse spent today/Right to Match cards used: INR 28.7 crore ($4.6m)/zero

Minimum number of players still needed: Four

Purse remaining/Right to Match cards left: INR 1.8 crore ($0.2m)/one

Most expensive buy: Yuvraj Singh (INR 14 crore/ $2.2m)

Players that got away: Darren Sammy, Amit Mishra, Zaheer Khan, JP Duminy, Brad Hodge, Dwayne Smith, Thisara Perera, Ishant Sharma, Rahul Sharma, L Balaji, Venugopal Rao,

What they need on day two: The Yuvraj buy destroyed RCB's purse. They now need to find at least four players within a budget of INR 1.8 crore ($0.2m), which means an average price of INR 45 lakh ($72,477) per player. They need at least two more Indians to make up the seven needed for a XI. An Indian spinner and an Indian batsman would be ideal. They have a right to match card but cannot use it for players whose bids break their budget. Their batting line-up, though, is dripping with match-winning players.

Players bought: Dinesh Karthik, Kevin Pietersen (right to match card), M Vijay, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Mohammed Shami, Quinton de Kock, Manoj Tiwary, Jaydev Unadkat, JP Duminy, Rahul Sharma, Laxmi Ratan Shukla, Jimmy Neesham, Saurabh Tiwary.

Purse spent today/Right to Match cards used: INR 51.4 crores ($8.2m)/one

Minimum number of players still needed: Three

Purse remaining/Right to Match cards left: INR 8.6 crores ($1.3m)/two

Most expensive buy: Dinesh Karthik (INR 12.5 crore/ $2m)

Bargain buy: New Zealand allrounder Jimmy Neesham (INR 1 crore/ $0.1m)

Players that got away: Jacques Kallis, Mitchell Johnson, George Bailey, Darren Sammy, Faf du Plessis, Michael Hussey, Amit Mishra, Aaron Finch, Cheteshwar Pujara, Robin Uthappa, Dwayne Smith, Albie Morkel, Shakib Al Hasan, Mitchell Starc, Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Vinay Kumar, Piyush Chawla, Pragyan Ojha, Glenn Maxwell, Corey Anderson, Mohit Sharma.

What they need on day two: Another solid overseas player in addition to Pietersen, the other four in their present squad don't have a similar aura. They are also missing a compelling allrounder and a second spinner. Not having retained players, Delhi began the auction with the full purse of INR 60 crore and went all out for three marquee players - Vijay, Pietersen and Karthik. However, they were conservative after that, bidding and losing on numerous players despite having the budget to push harder. Their squad at present is full of handy players, but only a few headliners.

Players bought: Steven Smith, Brad Hodge, Tim Southee, Abhishek Nayar, Kane Richardson, Ben Cutting, Shane Watson (retained), Stuart Binny (retained), Ajinkya Rahane (retained), James Faulkner (retained), Sanju Samson (retained).

Purse spent today/Right to Match cards used: INR 10.4 crore ($1.6m)/zero

Minimum number of players still needed: Five

Purse remaining/Right to Match cards left: INR 12.1 crore ($1.9m)/one

Most expensive buy: Steven Smith (INR 4 crore/ $0.6m)

Bargain buy: Brad Hodge (INR 2.4 crore/ $0.3m)

Players that got away: Yuvraj Singh, Darren Sammy, Amit Mishra, Aaron Finch, Robin Uthappa, Shaun Marsh, Wriddhiman Saha, Irfan Pathan, Morne Morkel, Glenn Maxwell, Corey Anderson, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Jaydev Unadkat

What they need on day two: On the first day, Rajasthan Royals made a lot of initial bids for big-name players and then dropped out of the race. They were the smallest spenders, and among the six players they bought, Abhishek Nayar was the only Indian. They need at least three more to make up the minimum of seven Indians needed to form an XI. They do not have spinners and Indian fast bowlers.

Players bought: Michael Hussey, Corey Anderson, Pragyan Ojha (right to match card), Zaheer Khan, Josh Hazlewood, Lasith Malinga (retained), Rohit Sharma (retained), Kieron Pollard (retained), Harbhajan Singh (retained), Ambati Rayudu (retained).

Purse spent today/Right to Match cards used: INR 15.85 crore ($2.5m)/one

Minimum number of players still needed: Six

Purse remaining/Right to Match cards left: INR 5.15 crore ($0.8m)/zero

Most expensive buy: Michael Hussey (INR 5 crore/ $0.8m)

Bargain buy: Zaheer Khan (INR 2.6 crore/ $0.4m)

Players that got away: M Vijay, Virender Sehwag, David Warner, Faf du Plessis, Brendon McCullum, Parthiv Patel, Yusuf Pathan, Morne Morkel, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Cutting.

What they need on day two: Mumbai normally splash their cash and buy more than they need at IPL auctions but they bought only five players today, though they still picked up the flavour of the season in Corey Anderson. Mumbai need two more Indians to make up the minimum contingent of seven, and they need to be smart about spreading their budget for at least six players. They need a specialist wicketkeeper, and some Indian batsmen.

Players bought: David Warner, Amit Mishra (right to match card), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Aaron Finch, Darren Sammy (right to match card), Ishant Sharma, Irfan Pathan, Moises Henriques, Jason Holder, Venugopal Rao, Brendan Taylor, Shikhar Dhawan (retained), Dale Steyn (retained).

Purse remaining/Right to Match cards left: INR 8.4 crore ($1.3m)/zero

Most expensive buy: David Warner (INR 5.5 crore/ $0.8m)

Bargain buy: Brendan Taylor (INR 30 lakh/ $48,318)

Players that got away: M Vijay, Kevin Pietersen, Dinesh Karthik, Zaheer Khan, JP Duminy, Manoj Tiwary, Wriddhiman Saha, Yusuf Pathan, Umesh Yadav, Corey Anderson, Abhishek Nayar, Varun Aaron, Parvinder Awana,

What they need on day two: Sunrisers have bought some exceptional T20 players and have also managed their budget well. They need an Indian wicketkeeper to have the option of not playing Brendan Taylor, a second spinner and some more Indian batsmen.
