The time has nearly arrived for the commencement of one of the most exciting two-day event of India’s biggest T20 tournament. Bengaluru is ready to host the 10 IPL franchises as their respective think-tanks would assemble under a roof to kick-off the much anticipated mega auction ahead of the tournament’s 15th edition.
A total of 590 names of players would go under the hammer on February 12 and 13, with the ten franchises strategizing and brainstorming their ways to form their respective squads within a purse limit of INR 90 Crore.
The 590 Cricketers, comprise 220 overseas and 370 Indian players; and to further break it down 228 capped players, and 355 uncapped players.
The auction event would kick-start with the list of 10 marquee players, who would be up for grabs at their respective base price of INR 2 Crore. Today (February 12), a total of 97 players (up to Set No. 11) will be put up for bidding. The first six sets (54 players) would feature the capped players, while the remaining 5 sets of the day would comprise the uncapped ones (23 players). Check the full format and schedule here.
Rs 515.5 cr is waiting to be spent on 289 players over next 2 days.
Even if the money is equally divided, each player will still walk away with Rs 1.78 cr.
That’s still higher than the highest salary a player earns in any other cricket league.
That’s why IPL is what it is. : )
