Now it will be interesting how the franchises would select players because
Kings Xl Punjab currently don't have any player who can become the captain.

It was very suprising that Kolkata Knight Riders didn't retain Gautam gambhir , so the question is who will be leading the team?

The same old story for Delhi Daredevils who will be there captain? Delhi have never got the right combination in selecting players.

There are a lot of questions and they would be answered on 28th January when auction will be over.
