The IPL Auction:

The recently concluded IPL 2024 auction held in the grand setting of a magnificent arena in Dubai was a spectacular event. It had a vibrant feel to it with each of the 8 franchise tables occupied by their respective owners, accountants, statisticians, cricketers as advisors and sharp businessmen.

Each of them huddled together to bid for a combination of players who would get them to be victorious. They would have gone through several hours of discussions, research and talent hunt to identify the right permutation and combination with options if things went awry.
