Fans and franchises alike are already excited about this event, which is scheduled for November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The final list of players that will be up for auction includes 208 players from abroad and 366 players from India. The IPL organizers eliminated 1000 participants from the 1574-player longlist. Ahead of the auction buzz, the retentions were the biggest talk of the towns as many big stars like Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant could not make it into the final list of their previous teams.
