The highly awaited ‘bidding festival’ for the 11th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) took place from January 27-28, in Bengaluru. A huge list of 578 players from 13 nations was shortlisted to occupy 182 slots to fill. The players are separated into different classifications, for example, Indian topped players, Indian uncapped players and foreign players. Each franchise can have a maximum of 25 players, a minimum of 18 players, and a maximum of 8 overseas players. Given below is the list of all the players who have been bought by the different franchises in 2018.

IPL T20

The bidding price is ‘all-inclusive’ whereas a player has to sign a separate contract, which includes special clauses, based on his performance, fitness, conduct, and availability for the season. If everything is followed well by the player, then he may get around 75 – 80% of the bidding price, and the rest gets shared between the BCCI + the Franchise.
