The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released a list of 590 cricketers who will go under the hammer in the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction in Bengaluru on February 12 and 13. Out of the 590 players, 370 are Indian while the rest 220 are overseas cricketers. A total of 33 players were retained earlier by the 10 IPL franchises. In the full list, some of the major inclusions having a base price of Rs 2 crore were Shikhar Dhawan, Ravichandran Ashwin and Shardul Thakur.
