2024 Auction & Dates
The auction is always one of the major spectacles of the IPL prior to the action taking place on the field and this year’s events will certainly be no different. The auction will see teams try and capture the star players available in order to assemble the best team possible to give them the greatest chance of winning the competition.
The 2023 IPL auction had taken place back in December 2022, which saw Sam Curran be bought by Punjab Kings for ?18.50 crore (US$2.3 million); a figure that made him the most expensive player in the competition’s history!
Who are the 2022 IPL Champions?
As we head into the 2023 IPL season, many eyes will be focused on the team of Gujarat Titans as they will be the defending champions. They made history last season when they defeated the Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in last year’s final, as they became the first team to win the tournament in their debut year.
There will be many that will feel that the Titans can hold onto their crown, although there is strong backing for the Delhi Capitals and the Mumbai Indians in some quarters. Nonetheless, we can expect some quality cricket when the season begins!
