Remember that only 77 slots are to be filled by all the franchises while the numbers of players in the auction pool is 333. Clearly, there will be more disappointments than celebrations. But that is how the IPL auction goes. Keep an eye out on the likes of some big overseas players such as Australia's Travis Head, New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra and South Africa's Gerald Coetzee. From India, Shardul Thakur, Umesh Yadav and Harshal Patel are some players who are likely to fetch crores at the auction.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have released the most players. They emptied half of their squad by releasing 12 players. KKR's mentor Gautam Gambhir and head coach Chandrakant Pandit along with CEO Venky Mysore will be busy buying players at the table. KKR have purse of just 32.6 crore to prepare a squad of 25 ahead of the auction.
