There is no denying the fact that cricket is a gentlemen’s game, but more often than not there is also an unpredictability factor that gets attacked to it. Be it England‘s weather, Pakistan’s on-field performance or the players’ auction for India’s biggest money-spinner, Indian Premier League (IPL). These situations are best enjoyed without thinkings about the logic behind them. So at the moment, the cricketing fraternity recently got pumped after IPL 2020 auction which gave quite a few surprises.

Expectedly, some franchises made interesting choices in the auction. While most of them left the veteran cricketing pundits shell-shocked, a few buys made complete sense.
