Abadi Al Johar Arena: Set nine, comprising of uncapped all-rounders, saw intense bidding wars, with Naman Dhir returning to MI for Rs 5.25 crore and Abdul Samad joining LSG for Rs 4.20 crore. DC secured Ashutosh Sharma for Rs 3.80 crore, while GT bagged Mahipal Lomror for Rs 1.70 crore. PBKS grabbed Harpreet Brar at Rs 1.50 crore, and DC added Sameer Rizvi for Rs 95 lakh.

As MI reclaimed the lead at Rs 2 crore, Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) joined the fray, escalating the bidding to Rs 3.40 crore.
MI’s decision to use the Right-to-Match (RTM) option proved pivotal, despite RR's final attempt to secure the player at Rs 5.25 crore. In the end, MI emerged victorious, welcoming back Dhir, a versatile all-rounder, with a whopping payday.
