Mumbai Indians

Mumbai, led by India white-ball captain Rohit Sharma, went big to buy back wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan ($2 million, R30 million) and added England's Tymal Mills to their pace attack led by Jasprit Bumrah.

They also picked up Jofra Archer for $1.06 million (R16 million) but the England fast bowler is unlikely to play this season due to his elbow injury.

However, the team's director of cricket operations Zaheer Khan said the prospect of watching Archer and Bumrah bowl in tandem "will be worth the wait".

Mumbai also signed young South African teenage sensation, Dewald Brevis, who was bought for $400 000 (R6 million).

Chennai Super Kings

The defending champions, led by warhorse Mahendra Singh Dhoni, 40, got most of their old guard back including pace bowlers Dwayne Bravo and Deepak Chahar for $1.85 million.

But Chennai failed to buy South African Faf du Plessis although New Zealand batsman Devon Conway is seen as a worthy replacement at the top of the order.

Kiwi quick Adam Milne comes in as a pace bowling replacement for Australia's Josh Hazlewood who went to Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Delhi Capitals
