As per the original plan, IPL 2021 auction was meant to be a mega auction. However, the limited time period between IPL 2020 and IPL 2021 forced the decision-makers to postpone the mega auction by a year. Therefore, IPL 2021 auction will now be a mini-auction which will mostly see teams fine-tuning their squads.

With the date of the auction getting finalized now, expect a final list of players who will take part in the auction in the days to come.
