IPL event
The Cambridge dictionary defines auction as ‘usually a public sale of goods or property where people make higher and higher bids... until the thing is sold to the person who will pay most’. Other dictionaries more or less have similar meanings. Cricketers now enjoy demi-god status and to line them up for an auction looks strange. No doubt IPL is also a platform capable of producing stars of the future. Perhaps more dignified terminology could be used to describe the whole exercise.
