IPL giants Mumbai Indians bought back explosive batsman Kishan for Rs 15.25 crore. 

Holders Chennai Super Kings forked out Rs 14 crore to keep seamer Deepak Chahar, while twice champions Kolkata Knight Riders bought India batsman Shreyas Iyer for Rs 12.25 crore.

The auction was halted after auctioneer Hugh Edmeades collapsed on stage during the bidding in a Bengaluru hotel."The IPL auctioneer had an unfortunate fall due to Postural Hypotension during the IPL auction this afternoon," the league said in a statement.

"The medical team attended to him immediately after the incident and he is stable."

Broadcaster Charu Sharma stepped in to continue the auction and the league's 10 franchises demonstrated their appetite for homegrown spinners after the lunch break.

Three years after Ravichandran Ashwin ran out Jos Buttler when the England batsman had backed up in an IPL game, the duo will be seen playing together for Rajasthan Royals.

Buttler is one of the three players Rajasthan had retained.

Australia test captain Pat Cummins returned to Kolkata for Rs 7.25 crore, a hefty cut from the Rs 15.5 crore he drew last year.

Australian duo David Warner and Mitchell Marsh will play under compatriot Ricky Ponting who is the head coach at Delhi Capitals.
