Round 2: The Mock IPL Auction
Mode: Off-Campus Simulation
Team Size: 2 to 3 members
The real battle begins.
The top 10 teams will enter the auction simulation, where every team will be assigned an actual IPL franchise.
Build the strongest possible squad for your franchise.
Each participating team will receive a fixed purse and will compete in a live IPL-style auction simulation to acquire players.
You will need to:
- Manage your purse strategically
- Identify valuable players
- Make smart bidding decisions
- Build a balanced squad
- Plan according to your franchise's requirements
- Adapt to changing auction dynamics
- Make every bid count
The complete auction rules, purse details, player pool, squad requirements, bidding mechanics, and additional conditions will be revealed after Round 1.
So come prepared for the unexpected.
One reckless bid could drain your purse. One missed opportunity could weaken your squad. One smart acquisition could change everything.
The Ultimate Challenge
Building a squad is easy, but building the right squad within a limited purse is the real game.
Your team will have to balance star power with squad depth, experience with potential, and aggressive bidding with financial discipline.
Every player has a price. Every bid has a consequence. Every decision matters.
