The IPL Auction 2019 is about to take place on December 18 in Jaipur. Franchises have already retained their core squad and released some players but now it is high time that they should ascertain the player requirements of their squads.
In an Auction, the base prices are set by the players themselves. The maximum base price a player can set for himself is 2 crores and minimum base price as per the revised rules is 20 lakhs.
In IPL 2019, the teams are allowed to spend a maximum of 82 crores on building a squad. The ideal base price that some Indian players can set for themselves is- Axar Patel (2 crores), Jaydev Unadkat (1.5 crores), Mohammed Shami (1.5 crores), Mohit Sharma (1 crore).
Axar Patel ahead of IPL 2019 was surprisingly excluded from the Kings XI Punjab. He is a good T20 player who has been performing well over the years. Every team would like to have a player like him in their squad. So, his base price of 2 crores seems correctly justified.
Jaydev Unadkat was bought by the Rajasthan Royals in the 2018 IPL auction for ₹11.5 crores who was the most expensive Indian cricketer in the auction but he failed to live up to the expectations and was released ahead of IPL 2019. Franchises are interested in Unadkat and his value is much higher than a few other Indian seamers. So, his base price of 2 crores seems quite fair.
Delhi Daredevils released Mohammed Shami and he will be looking for a new team at the IPL auction 2018. He is very impressive Test bowler but his record in T20 cricket hasn't been great. He may not be a big name in T20 format but he is an Indian capped seamer with a wealth of experience that can afford him a base price of 1.5 crores.
Mohit Sharma was first signed by Chennai Super Kings for the 2013 edition of the IPL and was brought again by CSK in the 2014 IPL auction for 2 crores after finding himself in auction pool. Ahead of IPL 2019, Mohit Sharma was released by Kings XI Punjab. The capped Indian has not played international cricket in three years. A base price of 1 crore seems apt for the Indian pacer.
