The IPL 2020 auction which took place in Kolkata on December 19 saw many franchises loosen their pockets to pick up some big names in the T20 cash-rich league. While some franchises managed to get their men, a few were left looking for other options and a lucrative signing.

KXIP, who were bidding for Chris Morris and Pat Cummins, but lost out, managed to bag West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for Rs 8.5 crore. Cottrell was the third-highest pick of the 2020 IPL auction behind Pat Cummins and Glenn Maxwell.
