It was a busy day for all the IPL franchisees. Too many players in the auction list and a limited budget assigned to each one of them. The ultimate aim is to buy the players who fit the maze. It was going to be a difficult task. However, it turned out to be a great auction as almost all the franchisees got what they wanted.
There were 351 players in the pool, out of which only 61 were picked by the franchisees. This goes on to show that it is not too easy to get selected even in an IPL side. Those who made it must be elated right now. Those who could not make it can only wait for the next time the auctions take place. The likes of Ishant Sharma and Irfan Pathan must be sulking right now as being the most senior fast bowlers in the Indian conditions, no franchisee showed any interest in them. This is IPL, in a nutshell.
