IPL Auction 2017: Telecast, live streaming, date, start time and where to watch online
The auction was supposed to take place on the 4th of February but was postponed. Earlier, the Board of Cricket for Control in India (BCCI) announced that more than 750 players had registered their names for the upcoming auctions. However, the eight franchises shortlisted only 351 players and now Ishank Jaggi will be the 352nd player in this year’s player auctions.
The IPL transfer window saw only one transfer take place, so the IPL auction is set to be a cracker.

The Vivo Indian Premier League 2017 will be the 10th edition of the glamorous tournament. Back in 2007, when the BCCI announced the IPL, the whole nation was wonderstruck at the idea of cricket players being auctioned for money. But now, the people of the country are used to seeing players being purchased for crores of rupees.
The cash-rich tournament has seen enormous success despite being pelted with numerous controversies. The tournament has fantastic entertainment value and now has a separate window in the international calendar year.
The upcoming 10th season will have not any changes in the number of teams participating or with regards to the ownership of the teams, but there will be quite a few changes in the squads.
All the eight teams this season possess a strong core with seasoned overseas players in their ranks. But what we can expect in the IPL auction is the selection of first-choice backup players as well as a few players to fill the remaining slots of the matchday XI.
A total of 231 capped and uncapped Indian players will participate in the auction. Among the internationals, six players of ICC Associate Members will be hoping to fetch some bids. But for the team’s think tank, it will be all about finding the perfect assemblage.
The current squads of all the franchises are given below.
