All 8 teams will be participating in the auction with their owners, captains, and team management. As already the team has released and retained few players, they are getting back to auction to strengthen their squad before getting into the big event.
The expectations towards IPL will never get low for cricket fans. Before getting into the IPL 2021 let us have an overview of the IPL 2020 which have been played in UAE owing to the COVID19 pandemic in India.
Mumbai Indians won the IPL 2020 and added the fifth trophy in their lobby. CSK for the first time in IPL history failed to enter the playoff this season and fails to satisfy the fans expectations. Let us hope for their pump back in this IPL season.
