IPL Auction: Who Bags The Player If Teams End Funds On An Equal Final Bid?

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 player auction is all set to take place on December 19 in Dubai. A total of 333 cricketers will go under the hammer. 214 of which are Indians and 119 are overseas players of which 2 are from associate nations. The list has 116 capped players, 215 uncapped players and 2 players from associate nations. Gujarat Titans will enter the auction with the highest remaining purse while Lucknow Super Giants have the lowest money left for the event.

Here is a look at the remaining purse of all the 10 franchises - Gujarat Titans (Rs 38.15 crore), Sunrisers Hyderabad (Rs 34 crore), Kolkata Knight Riders (Rs 32.7 crore), Chennai Super Kings (Rs 31.4 crore), Punjab Kings (Rs 29.1 crore), Delhi Capitals (Rs 28.95 crore), Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rs 23.25 crore), Mumbai Indians (Rs 17.75 crore), Rajasthan Royals (Rs 14.5 crore) and Lucknow Super Giants (Rs 13.15 crore).

Before the mini-auction in Dubai begins, let's have a look at one lesser-known rule - the silent tie-breaker bid.

What is a silent tie-breaker bid?

With the franchises having small purse remaining, chances are high that two or more sides could end up on a tied bid for a player and fail to go further due to lack of fund. In this case, the tie-breaker bid will be brought in action to decide the side who will bag the services of the player.

How does the silent tie-breaker bid work?

The franchises, who put a joint final bid for a certain player, will have to submit a silent written bid on a form. The side that promises to pay a higher amount in it will acquire the services of the player. The money promised by the franchise on the form would be paid by them to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). This amount will be in addition to the final bid made by the franchise for the player. However, the amount paid by the franchise to the BCCI would not affect its salary cap.

If the tie-breaker bids from the franchises are equal, the process will be repeated until a winner is decided.

Has the tie-breaker bid ever been used in IPL auctions?

In the 2010 IPL auction, Kieron Pollard and Shane Bond were sold to Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders respectively through the tie-breaker bid.

In the 2012 auction, Chennai Super Kings secured the services of Ravindra Jadeja through this method.

Skipper Ashleigh Gardner starred with both bat and ball, leading Gujarat Giants to a comprehensive six-wicket win over UP Warriorz in their Women's Premier League match in Vadodara on Sunday. Gardner (2/39) claimed two wickets and then scored a stylish 32-ball 52, her second consecutive fifty, as Gujarat registered their first win of the third edition of the tournament, following a loss in the opening game to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Opting to bowl, Gujarat produced a clinical effort with young spinner Priya Mishra returning impressive figures of 4-0-25-3. Skipper Gardner, Deandra Dottin (2/34), and Kashvee Gautam (1/15) also played key roles in restricting UPW to 143 for nine. Chasing 144 to win, the Giants were reduced to 22 for 2 with opener Beth Mooney and Dayalan Hemalata back in the pavilion after UPW introduced spin at both ends. However, Gardner produced an inspired knock, adding 55 runs off 42 balls with Laura Wolvaardt (22) to resurrect the innings. Gardner struck t...

'Not Taught About Sambhaji': Ex-Cricketer's 'Aurangzeb' Remarks Start Debate

The Vicky Kaushal-starrer movie 'Chhaava', based on the life and times of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj - the second ruler of the Maratha Confederacy and son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has received positive response from audience across the country. Apart from Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Rashmika Mandanna (as Yesubai Bhonsale), Akshaye Khanna (as Aurangzeb), Ashutosh Rana (as Hambirrao Mohite), Diana Penty (as Zinat-un-Nissa Begum) and Divya Dutta (as Soyarabai) play prominent roles in the movie.   Former India cricket team star Aakash Chopra also liked the movie. He, however, raised some questions after watching the film.  "Watched Chhaava today. Incredible tale of bravery, selflessness and the sense of duty.  Genuine question—why were we not taught about Chattrapati Sambhaji Maharaj at all in school? Not even a mention anywhere!!!  We did learn though how Akbar was a great and fair emperor, and even have a very prominent road called Auran...
