The much-anticipated Indian Premier League [IPL] auction is closing in with the eight franchises looking to add more muscle to their squads ahead of the 2017 season.
The IPL was won by SunRisers Hyderabad [SRH] last season after they beat favourites Royal Challengers Bangalore [RCB] by eight runs in a thrilling final.
The 2017 season will begin on April 5 with a re-match of last year’s final and end on May 21.
This season, a number of new players including the likes of Ben Stokes and Kagiso Rabada will go into the auction for the first time. There are also the likes of Eoin Morgan, Ishant Sharma and Mitchell Johnson who will go under the hammer after being released by their previous franchises.
A total of 351 players will be available at the auction, but a large majority of them are expected to go unsold as there are very few slots left in the squads of the franchises.
