IPL Auction 2018: 5 most experienced players going under the hammer

​

​

This year's IPL auctions will be held at Bangalore on 27th and 28th January. Almost all the teams have retained their core players and team scouts have already started scourging for players in the domestic and U-19 circuit.

However, having experienced players in the squad is just as important as they implement major decisions on the field and are tasked with guiding the team through difficult situations. Here's a look at 5 players who have played the most number of IPL matches and will go under the hammer:

Note:- The rankings are allotted on the basis of the number of matches played in the IPL.

#5 Harbhajan Singh (136 Matches)

Harbhajan Singh has played all 10 years of the IPL with Mumbai Indians and is one of a select few to have played for the same side since the tournament's inception. In his IPL journey, he has played 136 matches and has been able to scalp 127 wickets at an average of 26.54.

Harbhajan's experience on Indian sub-continental pitches would be a boon for whichever team buys him in the upcoming auction.
