All the teams of IPL had released the list of their retained and released players long back. In the previous mega auction all the teams walked away with the same purse but this time the situation is different. Sunrisers Hyderabad have the highest purse of Rs 42.25 crore. While Punjab Kings is at number two with Rs 32.2 crore. Lucknow Supergiants Rs 23.35 cr, KKR Rs 7.05 cr, and Royal Challengers Bangalore Rs 8.75 cr.
Be aware that Karen, who was voted the best player of the T20 World Cup 2022, is likely to get a hefty bid. However, Karen, who has missed the 2022 season due to a back injury, has a base price of Rs 2 crore. He has just been placed in the second set to bid for all-rounders.
