News India Live, Digital Desk: The real thrill of IPL starts even before the fours and sixes are hit on the field. Where? Yes, on the auction tableThe ‘Auction Day’ that you and I wait for with a packet of chips is actually a nerve-wracking day for the team owners and management,
This time the math is a little more complicated. The news is that 350 players (Players) will go under the hammer to try their luck. But the truth is that the total of all 10 teams Vacancies Only 77 Are only. That is, the saying “one pomegranate, a hundred sick” fits perfectly here.
Whose mathematics says what?
Like every time, this time too we are wondering who will sell the most expensive. But the teams’ focus is elsewhere. They are not looking for superstars, they are looking for their requirement.
- Less space, more fight: On average, a team needs only 7-8 players to complete its squad. This means that many big names may remain unsold and many unknown faces may become millionaires.
- Who wants what?: For example, some teams have their top order set, but the finisher is missing. Someone has an army of spinners, but does not have a pacer to bowl in the death overs. Teams will fight to fill these vacant ‘holes’ in the auction.
Power of the Purse (Money Talk)
The most interesting thing is to see how much money is in the purse of which team. Teams which have retained more players, their purse is lighter and they will bid very thoughtfully. At the same time, the teams which have released big players, will enter the auction like a loose bull and will increase the rate of any player.
The era of smart buy
Gone are the times when teams used to spend money just on name. Now is the era of data and analysis. Out of 350 players, those ‘diamonds’ will be selected who can create a big bang at a low price. This fight for 77 seats is not just about money, but brains and strategy Will be done.
So be prepared, because when the auction starts, not only the players’ heartbeats are going to increase, but ours and yours too!
