Cricket Auction
A Cricket Auction is an event where teams bid for players to join their squad, typically for a league like the Indian Premier League (IPL). During the auction, team representatives raise paddles to indicate their interest in a player, and the highest bidder secures the player’s contract for the season.
These auctions are crucial for team building, allowing franchises to acquire talent based on their budget and strategy. Players are assigned a base price, and the bidding can become competitive, reflecting their market value and demand. The auction is a key highlight of the cricket calendar, generating excitement among fans and teams alike.
