Team Auction edit

The auction fetched a total amount of US$723.59 million against the combined base price of US$400 million. Mumbai was the most expensive team, costing over US$111.9 million.

Player's Auction edit

Icon players edit

Icon player was a status given to five players of the Indian Premier League to ensure that top drawer players will represent their respective home city sides, which was important for the league to increase fan support and interest among the locals. The icon players received 15% percent more money than the highest paid player of the team bought in the auction. Initially four icon players were designated but later on the request of Delhi Daredevils, Virender Sehwag's name was added to the list. Deccan Chargers also asked for Icon Player status to be given to VVS Laxman, but he declined the offer in order to allow the franchise to spend more money on other players and still not breach the US$5 million salary cap.[3][4][5]
