This catapulted him to the number 1 spot in the Most Expensive IPL Players list, until Kohli came along this year. There are 85 million people watching live; itâs hot, and the world is hanging on your every word. A stalwart of the IPL story since inception in 2008. There are as many as 122 international players, including six players from Associate nations (five from Afghanistan and one from UAE).And that's it for this year's Indian Premier League auction!It was a fierce battle between all the franchises to lap up the brightest cricketing talents from India and around the world.The highlight of the day, of course, was England's Ben Stokes.The all-rounder was bought by the Rising Pune Supergiants for a whooping Rs 14.5 Cr.Only time will tell how whether the franchise heads made the right calls in today's auction, but one things if for sure, it's going to be a fascinating IPL 2017.Thank you very much for joining us for the live coverage of the auction. The auction will be managed by Hugh Edmeades for the second year in a row, after the BCCI broke its association with Richard Madley, who had been the IPL auctioneer since the beginning, last year. His precise style, deep voice and that SOLD accompanied by the thud of the hammer added a uniqueness to the IPL auctions.

This decision to drop me, in cricketing terms â or release me, in IPL terms â has come as a shock.âWhile he stresses that his replacement as the competition's auctioneer might not be permanent, and that he hopes to be asked back in future, the decision has incensed Madleyâs cult following in India.He has spent much of the past 48 hours reading through his Twitter notifications, trying to reply to each and every supportive message that has come his way.âIâve been genuinely touched by the response from my followers over there,â he says, âwho have genuinely welcomed me over the years and hold me in high regard; theyâve taken me into their hearts. Drawing the parallel of how an underdog Rajasthan side won back in IPL … I would say, on that day, auction history changed and Cricket changed at the same time, and I was lucky enough to be holding the gavel.” He wrote back that he was serious, so I cleared my diary, drove up to IMG HQ and thrashed out a structure for an auction. With the removal of Richard Madley, a different auctioneer will be banging the gavel. It was fairly obvious that the 3-time champions would retain their captain. Make sense of it all with the Waugh Zone, our evening politics briefing. As if that wasn’t a testament to his leadership skills, he captained India to ODI and series victories against Sri Lanka.

(IPLT20) IPL Auction 2020 Date, Time, Venue, Players List, Teams: All eyes are on the IPL auction in Kolkata on December 19, Thursday, as the 8 IPL teams finalize their squads for the IPL 2020 season. Even more surprising was that it was the base salary for the first retained player. The only foreign player on our list, Ben Stokes was the most sought after player in 2017’s IPL auction. Sharma is fully expected to help Mumbai defend their title in 2018.Finally, Rising Pune Supergiant had the last word and a fee of Rs 14.50 crore.
