The Player who will debut with the IPL season 8

The Player who will debut with the IPL season 8: Preparations for the Indian Premier League (IPL) season 8 has officially begun today as the teams were given a chance to pick the player of their choice from those who made themselves available, or were released by other franchises. The Auction for the Pepsi IPL season 8 was another cracking event, teams managements came out prepared, with all the home work done, their strategies finalized and had player they wanted to pick in mind. We saw not only the known, famous name but quite a few players who have never played the IPL get good bids as well. Here are the players who will make their debuts in the 8th season of the Indian domestic League. DD The Delhi Daredevils had one of the largest purse sizes available with them, as the Delhi team had released most of its players following a dismal IPL 7 and looked to rebuild a new team under former Indian coach Gary Kirsten. Apart from Yuvraj who was the biggest buy at the Auction these are the players who will debut for the DD in this season of IPL.

Jiyaz (Bowler) 10,00,000 KXIP Kings XI Punjab the runners up of the last IPL actually could have walked out of the auction even without buying a player and still having a pretty decent squad. So for the most part of it was Pretty Zinta did was escalated the price of players under bid and then quit it from there. And at the end of it, they did give two new names a chance to make it count, for playing under the KXIP banner in the next IPL.

A few names that they did go for were quite unfamiliar and one felt they over paid them. But at the end of it all, it’s about who you imagine in your squad playing what role. They had three new picks in this Auction. (Photo Source: ESPNcricinfo Ltd) K.C. Cariappa (Bowler) 2,40,00,000 Aditya Garhwal (All-Rounder) 25,00,000 Vaibhav Rawal (All-Rounder) 10,00,000 MI The Mumbai Indians were the proactive lot, with Ricky Ponting the legendary Australian captain and Mentor to the MI team, former Indian captain Anil Kumble also at his company were the team owner Neeta and son AkashAmbani. They bid for most of the big names that came up, but at the same time made sure they did not buy anyone who would make a huge hole in their IPL purse and at the end they also picked up 6 uncapped players.

Suchitch (All-Rounder) 10,00,000 RR The Rajasthan Royals had the soothing persona of Rahul Dravid present there along with the team owners. Like he did for the most part of his cricketing career Rahul knew exactly what they were looking out for themselves at the IPL Auction. Also did justice to their tag of being talent hunters, the team bought 4 players who will debut in the IPL this season. Barinder Singh Saran (Bowler) 10,00,000 Sagar Trivedi (All-Rounder) 10,00,000 Pardeep Sahu (All-Rounder) 10,00,000 RCB The Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of those teams known to go out heavy into the Auction, fully loaded with their purse and willing to unload it empty as well. Headed by Mr. Mallya they played a few tricks as well at the auction, making others pay more for a selection. Doing all that the managers also had their targets set and at the end one would feel they walked back with satisfactory names and prices registered in their list.

SRH added only two new names to their line up as they did make other buys most of which were tried and tested players who have experience of domestic and/ international career to back themselves and the team. Being one of the teams who have not done really well in their IPL career, they are either close to a revival or a shut down.

Since the very first season of the IPL the core of the team continues to remain the same as we approach the 8th edition. This is something which goes behind in making it one of the most consistent T20 sides, not only in India but world over. Stephen Fleming knew the players and the amount he wanted to bid for did it until the limit he could stretch and also picked up three new names in their squad.
