IPL 2017 Auction: How the franchises may spend
NEW DELHI: Ahead of Monday's IPL 2017 player auction in Bangalore, at which 351 players will go under the hammer with a maximum of 76 allowed to be purchased, here's a look at how the eight franchise are stacked up and what kind of players they may want to acquire.
DELHI DAREDEVILS
Purse: Rs 21.5 crore
What they have:
Batsmen: Shreyas Iyer, Karun Nair, Sam Billings, Pratyush Singh

Wicketkeepers: Quinton de Kock, Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant
Fast bowlers: Mohammed Shami, Zaheer Khan, Chama Milind, Syed Ahmed
Spinners: Shahbaz Nadeem, Amit Mishra
What they need: Middle-order batsmen and fit, young fast bowlers. Mohammed Shami is on the mend from injury and remains fickle, while Zaheer Khan is more of a mentor. And with the South African players likely to leave for international commitments midway during the IPL, an overseas batsman, allrounder and wicketkeeper are required.

Wicketkeeper: Naman Ojha
Fast bowlers: Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Siddharth Kaul, Ashish Nehra, Abhimanyu Singh, Mustafizur Rahman, Barinder Sran
