England all-rounder Ben Stokes became the most expensive overseas buy ever, going to Rising Pune Supergiants for a whopping Rs 14.50 crore, even as some unheralded Indian domestic players trumped seasoned names to land lucrative deals at the IPL players' auction in Bengaluru on Monday.

The second biggest buy at the auction today was also an England player, left-arm fast bowler Tymal Mills, who was taken by Royal Challengers Bangalore for a mind-boggling Rs 12 crore.

Eight franchises collectively spent Rs 91.15 crore to buy 66 players from a pool of 352 that went under the hammer. The accent was clearly on Indian players with as many as 39 of them bagging contracts while 27 overseas players came into the franchises' roster.

Let's take a look at how the eight teams stand after Monday's auction:

1. SUNRISERS HYDERABAD

2. ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE (RCB)

3. GUJARAT LIONS (GL)

4. KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS (KKR)
