Though Mumbai Indians released Nathan Coulter-Nile earlier, they re-signed him once more. In fact, at Rs. 5 crores, this Australian pace-bowler is the costliest buy for the team. Adam Milne, the pacer from New Zealand, became another team member during the auction and was bought for Rs. 3.2 crores.
Chennai Super Kings released Piyush Chawla before the IPL 2021 auction. Mumbai Indians bought Piyush Chawla at the auction.
