Royal Challengers Bangalore have released a series of videos with a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on in the bidding war for cricket players in the IPL auction.
Glenn Maxwell ended up receiving $2.5 million for his services despite a shocking IPL last year where his highest score was 32 with the bat and he averaged 56 with the ball.
Steve Smith meanwhile received $390,000 to play for the Delhi Capitals.
