350 players to be auctioned for IPL 4 on 8-9 Jan 2011

The auction of IPL season 4 may give us quite different teams and player combination for upcoming matches in 2011. As you know my dear readers this time auction format and rules will be totally changed. All team will be auctioned and it is possible that players of previous game may be auctioned in another IPL team. So can't say anything about IPL teams and player action, we can just wait for auction result and upcoming team fixtures.



When I heard the price of player that auctioned in IPL season 1, it really make me so curious about to know players' auction and their bidding details, team info and many more. In first season indian players topped in bid, but according to recent form of international players it's doesn't seem that indian players will top this time in bidding. Kiron Pollard, David warner, Yusuf pathan, Dale Steyn, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and lots of other players are in a queue for the category of highest bidding player.
