The spotlight will be on swashbucklers from the West Indies and Australia but some lesser-known youngsters could walk away with the big deals at the IPL players’ auction in Kolkata on Thursday where the franchises are expected to be restrained in spending. The 13th edition of the lucrative franchise league will have added significance as 2020 is also a T20 World Cup year. With 73 players up for grabs from 332 total players in the pool, the franchises will be cautious in their approach in the beginning, and a large number of players could get sold in the final round.
