Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions are an opportunity for some of the lesser known names to become crorepatis and become household names. It is also an avenue where the big names in cricket get blockbuster deals of their own to push franchises towards glory. At the same time, it is when players who are on the wane see their valuation take a nosedive.
That was the case for some of the players during the two-day IPL Auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia where Rs 639.15 crore was spent on 182 players. From once earning big bucks during the auction, quite a few either found no takers and ones that did, their salary saw a drop.
