Chennai Super Kings opened their account with Michael Hussey as they bagged the Australian for $425,000.
Second session of the auction started with Jesse Ryder and Herschelle Gibbs getting no takers. Deccan Chargers bought Shikhar Dhawan and JP Duminy for $300,000 each.

South African all-rounder Johan Botha outbid his skipper Graeme Smith as Royals bought Botha for $950,000 whereas Smith went to Pune for $500,000.
Surprisingly former India and KKR skipper Sourav Ganguly find no takers and went unsold whereas Jacque Kallis was bought by KKR for $1.1 million.
New Zealanders Daniel Vettori and Brendon McCullum went to Rajasthan and Kochi respectively for $550,000 and $475,000.

Rajasthan Royals then bought the services of New Zealand's Ross Taylor for $1 million whereas Kevin Pietersen went to Deccan Chargers for $650,000.
Proceedings at a luxury hotel in the IT hub of Bangalore, presided over by a professional auctioneer from Britain, begin both days at 11:00 local time (0530 GMT) and broadcast live on an Indian television channel.
The annual IPL tournament revolutionised the sport when it burst onto the scene in 2008 with a high-octane blend of international star players, Twenty20 matches and Bollywood glamour.
But its fortunes dipped dramatically last year after allegations of massive corruption, money-laundering and tax evasion, as well as secret deals to hide teams' real owners, and even links to India's criminal underworld.
IPL founder Lalit Modi -- whose brash style personified the event -- was thrown out by the BCCI, the sport's governing body in India, over accusations about his conduct and organisers hope this year will be fresh start.
The tournament, to be held from April 8 to May 22, is expected to feature 10 teams after Indian courts overturned the expulsion of the Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab.
