So what would a playing XI look like if it only contained players sold at the 2020 Auction? Therefore, here is the best playing XI from yesterday's auction.

IPL Auction 2020: Best Playing XI

1. Chris Lynn - Mumbai Indians

The Mumbai Indians quite literally stole the Aussie brute for just his base price. For Lynn, this season could be one of redemption, seeing his recent run of form and commitment to only play T20 or T10 cricket.

2. Robin Uthappa - Rajasthan Royals

The 2014 Orange cap winner has been one of IPL's best players and the end of his long association with KKR was a surprise to many. Uthappa may now help the Royals pick up their second IPL trophy.

Jaiswal has been setting the domestic scene on fire and he was expected to go for big bucks. The 17-year-old fetched Rs. 2.4 crore from the Rajasthan Royals.
