In category C and U, Rushabh Desai and Kamal Punwani were the richest buys as they attracted ₹60,000 and ₹1,80,000 respectively. 

At the end of the auction, all the five teams had 13 players each. It was a competitive auction as the team owners applied their strategies to get the best bet which would help them to formulate a balanced team, atleast on paper. With just 13 days to go for the second edition of the MCA BKC RC MPL, there is a lot of excitement and enthusiasm in the five participating camps. Just like the last edition, a lot of fireworks are expected this time around too.
