IPL 2026 Mini Auction: Mini auction is going on in Abu Dhabi for the 19th season of the Indian Premier League. Here the franchises are bidding strongly to fill 77 vacant slots with a total purse of Rs 237.55 crore. While some players have come into the auction with a base price of Rs 2 crore, some are available at the minimum slab of Rs 30 lakh. Meanwhile, let us know how the base price of a player is decided in the IPL auction.

Who decides the player’s base price?

In the IPL auction system, the base price of any player is not decided by the BCCI or the franchise. When players register for the auction, they have to choose a base price from the slabs decided by the IPL.

Base price slab decided by IPL

Although players decide their own base price, they have to do so within the fixed price bracket decided by the IPL Governing Council. For unpacked players for IPL 2026, there are usually working slabs like Rs 20 lakh or Rs 30 lakh. Whereas capped international players can choose higher slabs up to Rs 2 crore.

Why do many players choose a low base price?

A low base price is often a strategic move. When a player comes in the auction at Rs 30 lakh or Rs 50 lakh, more franchises are ready to bid, due to which the competition increases. By the end the price becomes much higher than the base price. Many players who are confident in their demand deliberately keep their base price low so as to generate maximum interest.

Risk of choosing a high base price

There is a lot of risk in this. This is because if a player keeps his base price at Rs 1.5 crore or Rs 2 crore, the franchise may hesitate due to limited purse or squad balance concerns. In such a case, even capable players can remain unsold.

IPL Player Fine Rules: The rules of IPL are very tough, due to which the players are also banned from the penalty of match fees to matches. Its recent hunting was made Digvesh Rathi of Lucknow Super Giants, who made a gesture to provoke Abhishek Sharma in the match against SRH. Due to this, he was fined 50 percent of the match fees and a match ban. In the first IPL 2025, many players have been banned due to slow-over rate.

Many players are fined millions of rupees, in such a situation, the question arises whether this money is deducted from the amount that the players get in the auction? Here you will get the answer to this question.

What is match fee and penalty?

First of all, know how much players get match fees, which is different from the player’s auction contract. For example, a player is sold for Rs 1 crore in the auction, apart from that he gets a match fee of Rs 7.5 lakh for each match. When a player is fined, that fine is deducted from the amount of Rs 7.5 lakh. Therefore, when it is said that a player has been fined 50 percent of the match fee, then he gets only 3 lakh 50 thousand rupees to play the match.

BCCI implemented some new rules for IPL 2025. The team captain is fined 12 lakhs for the slow-over rate. Since the player gets a match fee of Rs 7.5 lakh for a match, a fine of 12 lakhs can be made from 2 matches. There is no information available about where the amount raised from fine is used, but this amount of fine goes to the Board of Control for Cricket in India.

In the match number 16 of IPL 2025 against Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians used the retired out rule and called Tilak Verma out of the ground without being out. In place of them, the team sent Mitchell Santner to bat. Tilak was neither injured nor there was any reason that he was not able to bat, despite his team had the right to send them out and send them to the next batsman. Many people are considering retired outs as retired heart, but it is not so. Let’s know the difference between the two.

What is retired out? What is retired out?

When no batsman is out and is not injured, but he or his team wants any other batsman to come on the field, then retired out rules are used. Under this rule, the permission of the umpire is not required. Retired is written in front of the batsman’s name. The retired batsman cannot come back to bat in that match. However, if the umpire and the captain of the opposing team are allowed, then in that case the player can do the batsman.

The team uses this rule for its own benefit. When he feels that no batsman is in form and is unable to bat in important time, then the team sends another batsman using it in his place.

What is Retired Hurt? What is retired heart

There is a danger of the players being injured in cricket, there was a retired heart rule for this situation. Under this, if a player goes out of the field due to any injury or health related reasons, he is considered a retired heart. For this, the batsman or his team will have to get permission from the umpire. In this situation, if he becomes healthy for batting, then he will have the right to come on batting. For this, the captain of the opposing team will not be allowed.

Concussion Substitute: Rule of Concisition Substitute in Retired Heart

For example, on Saturday, Pakistan opener Imam ul Haq was injured, the ball was in his jaw. The medical team came and investigated them but could not get permission for batting back. In this situation, his Convention Substitute was announced. That is, another player was included in the playing 11 in his place. For this, the permission of the medical team is required, which tells that it is not safe for the batsman to play right now.

Retired Hurt vs Retired Out: What is the big difference between the two?

A big difference between retired heart and retired out is that retired heart occurs when the player is unable to bat for any injury or proper reason. While the retired out team or player’s will without any reasonable reason. In a retired heart, the batsman can come to bat when a wicket falls when he is healthy, but he cannot do so in a retired out. Here the captain of the opposing team has to decide whether he can bat or not.

On Friday, Tilak Verma was retired out and on Saturday, Pakistan opener Imam ul Haq retired. Within about 24 hours, we got to see both examples in cricket.

Lsg vs mi 2025: Tilak Verma was not out in the match against Lucknow Super Giants on Friday but he had to leave the ground under the retired out rule. This decision was taken by Mumbai Indians as he was unable to hit a big hit in the last overs. He scored 25 runs but played 23 balls for this, in this innings he hit only 2 fours. This match lost by Mumbai Indians by 12 runs. Tilak has become the fourth player in IPL history who left the ground in this way. Let’s know what is retired out rule in IPL?

What is retired out?

Due to injury several times in the IPL, the player goes out and then before the innings is over, it can come back to bat but it is not in retired out. Under this rule, a team can call their batsman out without the permission of the umpire and can send the new batsman instead. It is considered a retired out and the batsman cannot come back to bat. However, if permission is received from the opposing team and umpire, then the batsman can come back to bat again. In such a situation, he will have to wait for the wicket to fall.
