With the majority of players sold on Day 1, the fate of other cricketers will be sealed today.
Unadkat was the costliest Indian buy fetching a mind boggling Rs 11.5 crore deal from the usually thrifty Rajasthan Royals on the final day of the IPL auction in Bengaluru.
West Indian Chris Gayle, one of the IPL's star performers over the past decade, also went unsold in the first round.
Joe Root, the English captain went unsold in his inaugural season. Sunrisers Hyderabad got Rahul and Kings Xi Punjab picked Pandey for $1.7m each.
Meanwhile, Under-19 bowler Shivam Mavi was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for Rs. 3 crore. Delhi Daredevils went back and deep for Shahbaz Nadeem, while also adding a "millenial" - the 2000-born left-arm spinner Abhishek Sharma.
Indian veterans Yuvraj Singh, who fetched a record Rs 16 crore deal in the past, and Harbhajan Singh, did not generate a lot of interest from teams this time and went to KXIP and CSK respectively at their Rs 2 crore base price.
There was also relief for IPL legend Chris Gayle, who was eventually signed at the third time of asking; he'll also represent Kings XI in 2018.
Kendrick Lamar Begins Grammys 2018 With A Politically-Charged Performance

Noida: After R-Day lull, Karki Sena to resume protest on Saturday
According to Times Of India, they gave roses to filmgoers outside cinema halls and requested them to ban Padmaavat and not watch it.
Mumbai Indians: Rahul Chahar (Rs.1.90 crore), Evin Lewis (Rs.3.80 crore), Saurabh Tiway (Rs.80 lakh), Ben Cutting (Rs.2.20 crore), Pradeep Sangwan (Rs.1.50 crore), JP Duminy (Rs.1 crore), Jason Beherendorff (Rs.1.50 crore), Tajinder Dhillon (Rs.55 lakh). That set the tone for a frenetic day of bidding from Kings XI, whom bid more than any other franchise as well as missed on more players than any other franchise due to the others' RTMs.
Abhishek and Anukul, who got relatively lower bids, have also impressed everyone with their performances in New Zealand.
At this point, RR joined in and finally walked away with last year's most expensive player for Rs 125 million.
Dwayne Bravo was taken for Rs 6.40 crore by CSK using the RTM card.
Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc was snapped up by the Kolkata Knight Riders for $1.47 million, the second-highest price in the early sales. The Royals were inaugural IPL champions in 2008 under Australian legend Shane Watson, but were barred for two seasons with Chennai Super Kings in 2015 over a spot-fixing scandal. Mujeeb Zadran becomes the youngest player to enter in the auction.
Eight franchises will battle to find the right squad composition as a big pool of 578 cricketers, including 360 Indians, will go under the hammer in the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction here on Saturday and Sunday.
R Ashwin was the second player to be auctioned at the same base price of 2 crore.
