The much-awaited players’ auction of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 took place in Chennai on Thursday (February 18).
All the eight franchises battled out to pick the best players as per their requirements. Out of several players,♉ who were up for 🍬the grabs, many were bought by various teams, while some missed out to attract any buyer.
England’s attacking batsmen Alex Hales and Jason Roy were not picked by any franchise. Similarly, Australia’s limited-overs captain Aaron Finch was ignored by the team owners.
Sheldon Cottrell, who was released by Punjab Kings ahead of the auction, failed to find any buyꦺer in the bidding process. It was expected that Australian sensation Marnus Labuschagne and wicketkeeper-batsmဣan Alex Carey would gain a lot of attention in the auction, but that did not happen as both the players went unsold.
