The IPL player auction is always an exciting event. Players and fans from India and across the world tune in to see which team buys which players and for how much. The most sought after players who have registered their names for the auction watch with bated breath as teams enter into bidding wars for them. Many get the news of them having been bought at the auction from teammates, friends and family.
The next edition of the IPL player auction will be a mega auction and what that means is that barring a handful of retained players and six players signed by the two new teams - Lucknow and Ahmedabad - everyone else will go back into the auction pool. It will be a two day affair spread over February 12 and 13. According to some reports this could well be the last IPL mega player auction.
