574 players in the field, bidding will be held on 204, unsold players can also play IPL

New Delhi. The stage is set for the IPL mega auction. This time the auction of players is going to be held on 24-25 November in Jeddah city of Saudi Arabia. Many players will become rich in the two-day auction. After this, 574 players will enter the auction, out of which only 204 players will be able to be sold. This is because only so many slots are vacant. The remaining 270 players will remain unsold. The biggest question now is whether unsold players will get a chance to play in IPL? So the simple answer is yes. How can players who remain unsold in the auction also play? Let us know.

A player who remains unsold in the IPL auction can play in that season only when a player of any team gets injured or withdraws his/her name from the entire season due to some other personal reasons. In this situation, the franchise can add any of the unsold players as a replacement for the injured or withdrawn player. This has happened many times in the history of IPL when unsold players also got a chance to play in the auction.

Salt remained unsold. But after opener Jason Roy withdrew from IPL, KKR needed an explosive opener. KKR then added Phil Salt at his/her base price. Salt had kept its base price at Rs 1.5 crore. Phil Salt played an important role in helping KKR win the trophy last season. he/she had scored 435 runs in 12 matches.

This Indian bowler also did not find any buyer in the auction but later he/she was added by Rajasthan as a replacement for the famous Krishna. Prasidh Krishna was out of the Rajasthan team before the start of the season due to injury.
