Bangalore: IPLT20 2012 season which will commence from April 4th has already begun the fiesta with IPL auctions. 144 players in total will go under the hammer for the place of only 25 players, in which the case would be that most players will be ill-fated and will go home empty handed. But for the fortunate or the fluky ones, there is a big sum waiting for them. Each team can spend up to $2 million in the event meant for players not picked up in last year's auction. Nine franchises are looking for quality players. So here is the list of the top players who could be making franchises fighting for them.
1. Ravindra Jadeja:
Nicknamed as 'Rockstar', 23-year old Ravindra Jadeja is an allrounder who is a left arm spinner, stroke making left hand batsman and an excellent fielder. He made headlines with his entry in 2008 IPL when he played for Rajasthan Royals. The all rounder played a crucial role to make the team lift the 2008 IPL cup by defeating Chennai Super Kings in the finals. In 2010 Jadeja was banned on contractual issues and was later picked up by Kochi Tuskers in 2011 for $950,000 in IPL4. Jadeja made a Jadeja proved a decent buy with 283 runs at 31.44 and eight wickets at 38.12 in IPL4. Since Kochi Tuskers no more a part of IPL, all the team members are put on auction. Teams such as Delhi Daredevils and Kings XI Punjab who have a shortage of an allrounder will be in the front line to bag the Saurashtra lad.
