Royal Challengers Bengaluru made a late swoop to re-sign their former seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar for 107.5 million Indian rupees ($1.28 million) on the second day of the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction in Saudi Arabia on Monday.

Bhuvneshwar thus ends his long-standing association with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and goes to RCB - a team where his IPL career began.

Some of the unsold players included Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman; India’s left-handed batsman Devdutt Padikkal, Australia’s left-handed opening batsman David Warner, UK’s wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow, New Zealand’s off-spin bowler Kane Williamson and New Zealand’s off-spinner Glenn Phillips.
