The Indian Premier League auction of the 14th edition of the league will be held on February 18 at Chennai, the BCCI announced on Wednesday. All the eight teams recently announced the list of their retained and released players and they will look to fill in the missing pieces in their squad.

Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad had retained 22 players before the mini-auction, which is the most for any franchise. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore went on to release a maximum of 10 players before the auction.

Kings XI Punjab will enter the auction with the biggest purse value of INR 53.20 crores whereas RCB is in second place with INR 35.90 crores left in their bank.
