In IPL auction list, three cricketers from Tripura included

Agartala: Three cricketers from Tripura, namely star all-rounder Mani Shankar Murasing, top-order batsman Rajat Dey, and Ganesh Satish, have made it to the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction list.
Although Satish now plays for Tripura in first-class cricket, he originally hails from Karnataka.
IPL is the most popular cricket franchise tournament in the country. Players who perform well in the IPL are usually preferred by the selectors of the national cricket team.
Over the past few years, the IPL has played a huge role in the talent hunt for the national team’s strong bench strength.
Even most of the players who are now selected in the T20 national team also grabbed the headlines during the IPL.
Sources said that the base price of cricketers has been set at Rs 20 lakh. Now it remains to be seen if anyone from Tripura can make it to the IPL teams or not.

Even though cricket is one of the most loved sports in Tripura, no player from the state has made it big on the national platform. Recently, former South African cricketer Lance Klusener was roped in for a special role with the senior Tripura team. Wriddhiman Saha is also leading the senior team in domestic cricket.
