  • The Indian Premier League [IPL] auction, which was held on Monday, saw its usual share of surprises with as many as 66 players being bought by various teams.

    This year, we saw the likes of Ben Stokes and Tymal Mills fetching huge money as there was a lot of demand for all-rounders and fast bowlers.
