In the recently concluded IPL AUCTIONS, the bidding trends were in contrast to the previous editions.Last time it was observed that senior players who had a brand image were sold at higher prices even though age was fast catching up ,but this time ,some of them did not find bidders.Some who got bidders were sold at comparatively lower prices.This is primarily due to the fact that three yrs have passed since and these players have lost their forms.Some of them like Ganguly,Gibbs and Lara have retired from international cricket and others will soon retire.Players like Gayle won't be available due to their international commitments.
The other contrast was that out of top ten buys ,top seven were Indians.This is because of improvements made by Indian players like Gambhir,Pathan.India has now a bunch of talented youngsters eagerly waiting for their chances,hope that IPL can become the ideal platform.
But their some other unanswered queries like Why was Morne van Wyk not bought ,whereas uncapped players like vandiar were bought ?Why dis Irfan Pathan and Robin uthappa receive so much,although domestic performance nor last IPl's form was impressive?why was Piyush Chawla bought at higher prices than Pragyan ojha, even though he was the purple cap holder of the last edition?
