this is last season of the current cycle so next year franchises will basically have to release everyone bar a few and then refill their whole rosters

Not good if you're a fan of a team but i suppose it evens the teams up again.

think the rules are 4 players allowed to get retained and 4 or 5 more with match to buy cards.

TBH the teams are quite even already, only really pune are awful.
the rest are decent.
Gujarat were meant to be weak in depth and they reached the final last year.
they had a stinker in the auction today though.

By future returns i mean return in forthcoming season onwards.

Any chances pune will be allowed to play even if CSK and Rajasthan return. In that case Pune will retain Ben.

It will be interesting to see consolidated player list team wise post auctions.

Gujarat got Jason.

The top order is awesome.

Jason Roy, Dwayne SMith, Big Mac, Raina.

Imagine Big Mac and Jason in full flow

Pawan Negi was costliest Indian player last auction iirc. Today he got sold for only 30 lakhs.

Delhi trying to strengthen their bowling by including Rabada and Cummins.

Martin Guptill at 50 Lakhs is a superb buy for Punjab.

Well, England seem to be recognised as a force in T20 these days judging by the action in the auction. Stokes as the most expensive foreign player ever bought is ridiculous, as is Mills as the most expensive bowler and how did Woakes go for such money?

Roy and McCullum already open together for Lahore.

Big Mac will get first attempt as opener amongst him, Dwayne Smith and Jason.

Toss between Smith and Jason as his partner for first match imo.

I know the focus is on Stokes, but.... Tymal Mills

Talk about being rewarded for having a couple of good games against India

if he goes for 1.4 million he has to start every match, doesn't he?

RCB has never had a good bowling attack so they never won IPL. Starc has withdrawn this year.

So Tymal and Billy have been added.

Imo 4 foreinors would be Gayle, ABD , Watson and Tymal.

Gayle i guess was horribly out of form in PSL. But they usually carry Gayle even though he is out of form. Options are travis Head as batsman + spin replacement or replace Gayle with pacer Billy.
