As we gear up for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, there’s another major cricket event over the weekend. It’s time for the IPL mega auction. The two-day bidding wars will be held in Jeddah and it will clash with Days 3 and 4 of the first Test between Australia and India.

First things first, should the cricket have administrators avoided this clash? Well, money matters!

There are 12 players across two marque sets. Rishabh Pant is in the news after stoking controversy over the way he left Delhi Capitals. In a tweet, he said the decision to leave the franchise was not about money.

Will Pant be the costliest player in the history of the IPL auction? Will Punjab Kings go for him?
What about KL Rahul? Is he returning to Bengaluru? Will KKR go for Shreyas Iyer again?

In the latest episode of Sledging Room Podcast, Akshay Ramesh, Saurabh Kumar and Alan john predict the potential big buys and narratives in the IPL auction.
