Twitter can't get over this English cricketer who was sold for $2 million at the IPL auctions

The Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions were held in Bangalore on Monday. For the uninitiated, IPL is a Twenty20 cricket tournament held in India in April-May and draws players from across the globe in a month-long extravaganza. 

This is its tenth year and the English Premier League replica is now one of the richest and buzziest sporting events of the world. 

Unsurprisingly, Twitter couldn't hold its own while the auctions happened. 

Besides ensuring that #IPLAuction topped worldwide trends for the better part of the day, Indian cricket fans couldn't stop talking about English cricketer Ben Stokes, who fetched an astronomical sum of Rs. 1.45 billion ($2 million) at the auction, making him the highest overseas purchase in IPL's decade-long history.

Jokes, memes, GIFs and comments galore. Ben Stokes is the muse of the day.

#IPLAuction
Hey England, we've given you 14.5 cr for Stokes, 12 cr for Mills, and 4.2 cr for Woakes.
Now at least give back the Kohinoor.

Stokes = 14.5 crores
Mills = 12 crores

Nobody would have believed us if we said we'll buy the English 70 years later.#IPL #IPLAuction

There was some general amusement over IPL's riches as well. 

And a few barbs at some selections made by the franchises. 

Give DD a few years and they will field a team with 7 Indian wicketkeepers and 4 overseas' wicketkeepers. #IPLAuction

If Virat Kohli was to put up for #IPLAuction , Mukesh Ambani will have to sell his house Antilia to buy him.

Gujarat's cleverly waiting for the 2nd hand sale next week when they can purchase players for a 60-70% discount. #IPLAuction

Sanjiv Goenka is being dorky. Released M Ashwin, now wants him back. RPS behaving like a girl wanting her ex back. What is this #IPLAuction

— Samreen Razzaqui (@SamreenRazzaqui) February 20, 2017

And on the omission of Pakistani cricketers... 

The reason why Pakistani players are not included in #IPLAuction is they already are sold out....to the bookies.

Surely when it's cricket, India can never have enough!
