While the first day was a witness to multiple bidding wars leading to as many as 10 players crossing the INR 10 crore-mark as their IPL 2022 salary, the second day holds all the more importance.
Franchises, which mostly played the waiting game on Saturday, will have no option than to increase their participation for each one of them has to buy a minimum of 18 players for IPL 2022. On the contrary, franchises, which did well on the first day, will have to maintain the momentum for a bad day at the auction table has it in it to nullify the initial progress.
