Right, we’re still waiting for the resumption. There has been a slight delay and the Auction is set to resume in 10 minutes. Wanindu Hasaranga, the burgeoning Sri Lankan spinner, had reached 10 crores before the Auction was halted. The Auction is set to resume with him, after which there are some more all-rounders in the current Set. The next one, Set 4, has wicket keepers. That should prove to be exciting, with players like Ishan Kishan, Jonny Bairstow, and Dinesh Karthik to watch out for.

Feb 12, 3:00 PM IST

Confirmation now that the presenter Charu Sharma will conduct the rest of the auction.

Presenter Charu Sharma will conduct the auction. Mr Emeades can’t continue right now. He needs rest.

The management and members involved in the bidding process for all the franchises are assembling at the ITC Gardenia, Bangalore, where the Auction is about to begin in 10 minutes.

Feb 12, 11:35 AM IST

What is the Marquee Set? Who are the players in this set?

The Marquee Set is a group of 10 players who will be up first for bidding. While the sets of players throughout the rest of the Auction are categorized based on their role (i.e., batter, bowler, all-rounder, etc.,), the Marquee Set follows no such categorization and contains some of the most prominent players in the IPL so far. The 10 players are:

Ravichandran Ashwin
Trent Boult
Pat Cummins
Quinton de Kock
Shikar Dhawan
Faf du Plessis
Shreyas Iyer
Kagiso Rabada
Mohammad Shami
David Warner

Remember, there are no Right-to-Match cards available this time. This gives the two new franchises – Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Gujarat Titans (GT) even footing, as the other franchises will not be able to buy back players who have played for them in the past using the RTM cards.
