Kolkata Knight Riders chilled throughout the Pat Cummins bidding war, coolly entering at the last moment and pocketing him for a whopping $2.18 million bid.
Brendon McCullum had shelled out the money, and he instantly asked for some favours in return.
Cummins, meanwhile, had his adrenalin pumping, as happens to anyone who becomes a millionaire in the space of minutes.

Glenn Maxwell will head back to Kings XI Punjab for the second time.
As unveiling videos go, this one from Shimron Hetmyer is right up there.
There was a Shah Rukh Khan at this year's IPL auction, but not the one you're thinking of.
