I wish I knew what each squad looked like earlier and the amount of money they had to answer this properly.
From just looking at the list of players bought and a rough approximation of what the squads may have looked like prior to this auction… I’d have to say it’s Mumbai. Coetzee is an incredible signing even without his comparatively low price and then you add in Madushanka who was great for a shambolic Lankan team at the WC… two great deals. If you consider Hardik and Green trades as part of this then they’re the easy winner so far.
As @Viper. pointed out all this squad lacks at the moment is a solid overseas batter who can serve as a starter like Rilee and the XI seems complete.

Wonder if they purposefully withdrew from the Starc bid just to fulfill our wishes of wanting KKR to suffer.

They could perhaps use another pace bowler or all rounder. Maybe a bidding war with CSK for Jason Holder.

Rizvi is Rizvi.
You just jealous you didn't get a bid in IPL once.

Did we really get Starc for that much money??? This entire management needs to be fired. He aint worth that! And what the fearsome tweak happens if he pulls out of the IPL like he always does?

Its funny that the social media trolls post these "oldies" memes even in an auction where CSK are defending champs.

I actually don't.
Just looking at his numbers though they're really solid. Cricinfo describes him as the leading six hitter in the UP T20 league in the previous edition. He's eighth on the list for the last SMAT and was Uttar Pradesh's top run scorer in the same ahead of Rinku and Rana.
Looks like he could put pressure on Dube or Rahane if they revert to their usual inconsistency. That is assuming Dhoni and Fleming are willing to play him rather than stick with out of form players for the entire campaign.

Can't believe they scheduled this while an India match is going on

From his conversation at the moment and the earlier instruction from CA for their players to participate in the IPL actively as practice for the WC I think this may be the season where we see the unicorn in action.
