Hi there! Welcome to Episode 170 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. We’ve had such exhilarating IPL 2023 auctions. The IPL Auction on Friday was a blockbuster as records tumbled over a few hours in Kochi. We witnessed a lot of firsts, costly buys and so much more. The IPL mini-auction in Kochi was anything but 'mini'. The 10 franchises got their chequebooks out and splashed the cash as around 80 players were sold, 29 of whom were foreigners, and an eye-watering Rs. 167 Crore was spent on that blockbuster of a day. While Sam Curran got all the headlines for being the most expensive purchase in the history of IPL auctions, some of the uncapped players also bagged big contracts with the franchises. On the podcast today to join us for this discussion, we have Sudath Bharadwaj. He is a graduate of Journalism with a keen interest in sports like Cricket and Tennis and aspires to be a commentator/broadcaster one day.
