Auction for IPL 2011 – Season 4 is taking place today on January 8 and tomorrow on January 9 in Bangalore. Total 350 players would be put for auction in British style. IPL Governing Council has decided that a total of 4 players can be retained by each franchise, which includes a maximum of 3 Indian players.
It was also decided that each franchise would have a cap of 9 million dollars to spend at the next players auction but this amount would get reduced with retention of players.
