How The IPL Auction Market REALLY Works

How The IPL Auction Market REALLY Works

Strike Rate: The Cricket Analytics Podcast · 2024-05-14

On this episode of Strike Rate: The Cricket Analytics Podcast we return to the IPL. Dan has been writing a series of articles on IPL market dynamics and what really has an impact on the IPL auction. Building on that we have an in depth conversation about the analytical side of the IPL auction and discuss what really drives a player's price. Then we go on to talk about what teams can do from a strategic point of view to build a better cricket team.
Why are team's paying so much for batters and not bowlers? Which age profile performs best in the IPL? Is it time for franchises to say goodbye to aging stars like David Warner, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli?
