IPL auction 2021

 IPL auction 2021

The 292 players who were up for grabs were from 11 different countries, 164 of which were Indian players. The entire breakup of overseas players by country can be viewed here. After the IPL retentions last month, teams released quite a few players, clearing up room for new players to be picked in the auction. There were a few players traded in and out during the trading window, the details of which are available here. The auction list was shortlisted after the franchises submitted their list of players.

It was a ‘mini auction’ by definition, but there was no dearth of action throughout the day, as teams furiously outbid each other to claim their player of choice. At the end, it was South Africa’s Chris Morris who broke the box office, registering a bumper sum of INR 16.25 crore, the most any team has spent on a player in the history of the IPL auction
