The IPL Auctions 2016/17 turned out to be a great day for most of the cricketers. Having released a good number of players from their squad, the franchises had their purse strings loosened up and looked eager to buy the most promising and reliable talents from both the domestic and overseas pool. Top T20 cricketers like Patrick Cummins, Mitchell Johnson, Tymal Mills, Jason Roy and bunch of others were snapped for good sums.
While these names happen to be proven and well-known stars, the franchises also made sure that players with the X-Factor are also not ignored. These talents from both domestic and overseas pool created a huge interest among the owners and were eventually bought for headline-grabbing prices. While it’s always inspiring to see talents getting noticed, very few expected them to taste such a big success at the auctions.
