On January 4, the IPL teams announced the players who will be retained in their squad for the season.
With all the IPL franchises bidding for the players they wish to bring to their team for the upcoming tournament has started today.
Kings XI Punjab with owner Preity Zinta is bidding for almost every in-form player in the early going.
KXIP had bought five consecutive players including KL Rahul for Rs 11 crore. Her enthusiasm did not go unnoticed and Twitter quickly decided to have some fun of its own.
Update: Preity Zinta has bid 100 Lakhs for Richard Madley. Interesting.
