Indian Premier League (IPL) is a celebration of cricket for fans all around the world. This league is organized by BCCI, which is the highest-paying cricket board in the world, worth $295 million. Each IPL player is bought for a given team through an auction. In the recent IPL auction 2021, that took place in Chennai, India, eight franchises took part with 298 cricketers up for bidding. Through this bidding, the salaries of the players and the teams they’ll play for are decided.
Cricket fans across the world wait for the IPL series every year and to keep the audience hooked and to expect an outstanding performance by the players on the field each player is heavily compensated. Now, let’s move on to the results of the IPL auction 2021, the players with the highest to the lowest bid.
