Every Aussie picked in the IPL auction

Scroll on as Wide World of Sports breaks down every Aussie picked (all salaries in AUD).
Aaron Hardie - Punjab Kings
The West Australian joins Ricky Ponting's side, among a host of other Aussies.
Hardie was sold for $230,000.
Tim David - Royal Challengers Bengaluru
The 28-year-old ends a three-season stint with Mumbai Indians to link back up with his first IPL team.
David was sold for just under $550,000 to RCB.
The Aussie originally went for around $1.5m to Mumbai but has now taken a $950k pay cut.
Josh Inglis - Punjab Kings
Another Aussie linking up with Ricky Ponting.
Inglis continues a stellar year which included captaining Australia in white-ball cricket.
The wicket-keeper batter was sold for $476k.
Nathan Ellis - Chennai Super Kings
The Aussie fast bowler is the only player who'll feature for Chennai.
He joins MS Dhoni at the organisation, having been bought for $366k.
Mitch Marsh - Lucknow Super Giants
The all-rounder went for $620,000.
Marsh's move to Lucknow puts him together with Justin Langer.
Josh Hazlewood - Royal Challengers Bengaluru
One of the biggest earners from the IPL auction.
Hazelwood was sold for a whopping $2.29 million.
He joins David as the only two Aussies at the club.
Mitchell Starc - Delhi Capitals
Starc broke the record last auction for the biggest payday when he went to Kolkata Knight Riders.
That record came only minutes after Pat Cummins had broken the previous one.
Starc will be in different colours at the Capitals, and was sold for $2.14m.
Spencer Johnson - Kolkata Knight Riders
Johnson appears to be a direct replacement for Mitchell Starc at the reigning champions.
But it came at a financial cost for the left-armer.
Johnson was sold to KKR for $500k, having been bought for $1.78m last year by Gujarat Titans.
Xavier Bartlett - Punjab Kings
Another one in the Ponting stable.
The quick was sold to Punjab for $147k.
