About the IPL Live Mega Auction & Franchise Purses

The Cricket Mega Auction is the premier sports event where franchises bid for top international and domestic cricket talent. Teams build their core squad with a predefined spending cap limit. Tracking the remaining purse is critical as it dictates a franchise's ability to engage in bidding wars for marquee players. Here, we track exactly how much money each team has left, retaining, and highest buys.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the maximum squad size constraint?
Each franchise is typically allowed a maximum of 25 players, out of which a strict quota is set for overseas players. You can explore complete squad lists post-auction on our All Teams Database.

2. How are retained players calculated?
Franchises can retain a limited number of core players before the auction pool is finalized. The retained players' values are deducted directly from the base purse budget. Want to review historical and active cricket stats? Check our Current Players Profiles.
