Several cricketers have already said that they will not play in the IPL this time. South African star Chris Morris, who got Rs 160 million in the last auction, is one of them. The list also includes English all-rounder Ben Stokes, batsman Joe Root, Australian pacers Mitchell Starc and Sam Curran, Caribbean opener Chris Gayle, New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson, South African batsman AB de Villiers and others.
One of the reasons for the controversy over the IPL is the auction process of the tournament. For almost a decade and a half, this auction has made the poorest cricketers millionaires in the blink of an eye, and has returned many cricketers who dreamed of becoming millionaires. Today and tomorrow, many such fateful stories will be written at the ITC Gardenia Hotel in Bangalore. The auction to be held on the occasion of the next IPL that Bangladesh time is going to start from 11:30 today in this hotel!
There is more controversy about this auction than any other time. After four years, this time the auction is being held in a large body, whose book name is ‘Mega Auction’. Each franchise will somehow form a new team today. Each team has to form a squad with at least 16 players. So everyone has to stumble in the auction today and tomorrow. More teams, more players and a lot of money — everyone is saying, this time the auction will come with a lot of excitement.
But which cricketer will provide the biggest supply of this thrill? Nana Muni’s various opinions are being heard in this regard. It can be said which side will be more interested in the audience of Bangladesh. Shakib Al Hasan, Mostafizur Rahman, Liton Das, Taskin Ahmed and Shariful Islam have entered the auction this time. Apart from this, the excitement in the mega auction of IPL may be more due to those who are the reason for this arrangement.
The 26-year-old cricketer has a bad fortune. The youngest captain in the history of the Delhi Daredevils might have been the star of Delhi if he had not suffered a left shoulder injury. Due to this injury, the Delhi franchise replaced Shreyas with Rishabh Pant as the captain. Even after Shreyas recovers, Delhi Capitals have relied on Pant. Meanwhile, the captaincy is far away, Delhi did not even keep healthy Shreyas in the team before this auction. As a result, naturally, this time the tension with Shreyas will fall in the auction.
In particular, ‘captain-looking’ teams like Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings can increase the price of Shreyas several times. In a video posted from his Instagram account, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag said that the teams will compete for five Indians in this year’s IPL auction. Apart from Shardul Tagore, Yuzbendra Chahal, Shikhar Dhawan and Ishan Kisan, Sehwag has also included Iyer in the list.
