We are already at the dusk of September as only seven months are remaining for the much-awaited IPL 2020 to begin. The auction for the season 13 is coming nearer and if reports are to be believed the cash-rich league’s auction is about to take place on December 2019.
The franchises have already started making player-trading moves and finding the best-supporting staff to reach the top of the standing next season.
Although the final date is yet to be revealed, the auction will be held in Mumbai. On the last occasion, IPL was seen as a villain as the auction was held just before the World Cup. Various boards slammed IPL for exhausting their players before the World Cup, even few players got injured during the IPL and performed miserably during the world cup.
It will be interesting to witness the new bids this year and franchises fighting for the player.
