Indian Premier League’s 11th edition will April 4, 2018
The IPL 2018 player auctions came to an end on Sunday. Jaydev Unadkat was the most expensive Indian player, being bought by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 11.5 crore. Ben Stokes was the most expensive player to come out of the auctions for the second year in succession. This year, though, it has been made clear that quality ranks above everything else for the teams. A prime example of that is Lasith Malinga going unsold and Chris Gayle finding a team only after coming into the auction for a third time. Here are the full squads for IPL 2018:
