IPL 2015 Auction Results

In yet another grand auction for Indian Premier League (IPL 2015), we saw a lot of players getting shuffled into some other teams. The biggest one was Yuvraj Singh moving to Delhi Daredevils that too for a mind boggling 16,00,00,000 Indian National Rupees (16 Crores INR). Unfortunately he wasn't picked for India's 2015 Cricket World Cup team. Total 349 players were auctioned out of which 67 were sold. 43 out of these were Indians and rest were overseas players. Further bifurcating it, 33 of them were capped players while 34 were uncapped. The total amount spent in this year's IPL auction was more than 87 Crore Indian Rupees.
