Young Karnataka cricketer Samit Dravid, son of former India captain and coach Rahul Dravid, was one of the high-profile names to go unsold in the players' auction held on Tuesday for this year's Maharaja Trophy T20, organised by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA).

He batted in the middle-order in seven innings, scoring 82 runs at a strike rate of 114, but was not called upon to bowl his medium pace. He was picked for India Under-19's one-day series against Australia Under-19s in Puducherry, but a knee injury ruled him out, pushing him to rehab at the National Cricket Academy. Mysore Warriors Full Squad: Karthik S U* (0.50 lakh), Karthik CA* (4.20 lakh), Prasidh Krishna* (2.00 lakh), Karun Nair* (6.80 lakh), Manish Pandey (12.20 lakh), Gowtham K (4.40 lakh), Yashovardhan Parantap (2.00 lakh), Venkatesh M (2.00 lakh), Harshil Dharmani (3.20 lakh), Lankesh KS (0.50 lakh), Kumar LR (1.50 lakh), Goutham Mishra (2.25 lakh), Shikhar Shetty (4.70 lakh), Sumit Kumar (1.00 lakh), Dhanush Gowda (0.50 lakh), Kushaal M Wadhwani (0.50 lakh), Sharath Srinivas (1.00 lakh) and Shamanth SM (0.50 lakh) Abhinav Manohar, who plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad, and former India batter Manish Pandey received the second-highest bids, joining the Hubli Tigers and Mysuru Warriors respectively for Rs 12.20 lakh each. Among the bowlers, Shivamogga Lions went big for Karnataka pacer Vidwath Kaverappa at Rs 10.80 lakh, while Bengaluru Blasters spent Rs 8.30 lakh for pacer Vidyadhar Patil. The Shivamogga Lions also secured India A batter Aneeshwar Gautam for Rs 8.20 lakh, while Mangaluru Dragons highlighted their auction day with the purchase of veteran Shreyas Gopal for Rs 8.60 lakh.
