The auction of players for Indian Premier League is being held on Saturday in Bengaluru.
The latest auction witness 351 players going under the hammer and that includes 230 Indian and 121 overseas players.
With a majority of the teams having retained their core players, attention is riveted on the strategy adopted by the two new entrants — Rising Pune Supergiants and Gujarat Lions — as they try to beef up their respective units led by M.S. Dhoni and Suresh Raina respectively.
Including the captain, both the Pune and Rajkot-based outfits have picked five players each and should do the lion’s share of the bidding. Delhi Daredevils too is an active player, flush as it is with the highest available purse of Rs. 37.15 crore.
Missing from the auction are the two suspended teams — Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals — which in the previous auctions used to follow a set pattern. CSK preferred continuity and Royals plumped for value-buys.
