The Indian Premier League auction will be held in Chennai on February 18.
With India playing back-to-back Tests in Chennai between February 5 and February 17, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to host the auction in a plush hotel in the city, keeping safety measures in mind.
As most teams have retained their core group, this auction will be an opportunity for the franchises to fix loose ends.
Leading to the auction, Kings XI Punjab has the maximum purse available – Rs 53.2 crore.
“Since we will have a bigger auction in 2022, with more teams coming in, this is an opportunity to just fill in the gaps,” one of the franchise owners said.
