Pace bowlers shine as IPL auction heats up on Day 2

In the IPL auction's second day, fast bowlers attracted significant bids, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar sold for ₹10.75 crore to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Mukesh Kumar was acquired by Delhi Capitals for ₹8 crore, highlighting the demand for Indian pace bowlers. A notable surprise was 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who was bought by Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.1 crore after a bidding war. Other established batters had limited interest, with many going unsold in the first round. Uncapped bowlers also saw action, with CSK acquiring Anshul Kambhoj for ₹3.4 crore and Gurjapneet Singh for ₹2.2 crore. Gurnoor Singh Brar was picked by Gujarat Titans for ₹1.3 crore, showcasing the growing interest in young fast bowlers.
