IPL Auction: The auction for the next season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) took place on Tuesday. A lot of money was showered on the players in this auction. Many surprising decisions were also seen in this. Some players did not find buyers and those who had no expectations took away crores of rupees. England's wicketkeeper-batsman Phil Salt is a player who is known for his stormy batting. But this batsman did not find a buyer in the auction. Salt, after scoring a century on the day of the auction, made it clear that something wrong had happened to him.

Salt was a part of Delhi Capitals till last year. But this time Delhi did not retain him. Salt thought of entering the auction but could not find a buyer. Salt had come with a base price of Rs 1.5 crore but when his name came up no one bid.
