The pre-season player auction – a departure from the usual drafts system – has been a salient feature of the IPL. Cricketers set a base price, and franchises bid for them. Every three years, there is a mega-auction, and the teams undergo significant overhaul. However, as a concept, the auction initially drew criticism from many quarters: despite the players not being present in person, there were cries of them being objectified.
