IPL 2021 Auction: 3 Indian players who can be sold at 10x their base price – The most interesting part of any Indian Premier League (IPL) auction is how much value jump any player can get from his base price. The IPL auction has had a history of creating overnight millionaires out of uncapped and little known domestic cricketers. Little known players have in the past had huge paydays as IPL franchises tussled with one another to get their hands on unknown commodities and young talent.
The mini-auction this time in Chennai can also become the biggest pay-day for some of the top uncapped cricketers. Take a look at 3 such players who can break the bank and secure prices up to 10x their base price.
