The excitement towards the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is building up, but before all the action on the field, there’s the IPL mega auction that is taking place in Bengaluru on 12 and 13 February.
The retention event for the tournament had taken place in December last year, with the likes of RCB’s Virat Kohli, MI’s Rohit Sharma and CSK’s MS Dhoni being retained by their teams.
