IPL 2018 Auction is over with all eight teams geared up for a busy season to follow. The two-day sporting extravaganza was a massive affair, with franchise owners’ choices sending as many ripples down the social media as the auction itself.
But it was mostly the three teams which were at the centre of the Twitter chatter during the two-day auction – Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab.
Here’s a quick look as to why these teams made Twitter stop and take notice:
Preity’s Shopping Spree
Kings XI Punjab’s Preity Zinta was, quite literally, the talk of the auction. Her impulsive shopping instincts were on full display during the two-day bonanza, with Preity raising her placard every time a player went under the hammer.
Even Sehwag seemed amused at Preity’s eagerness. He took to Twitter to say, “Ladkiyon ko shopping ka shock hota hai. Preity full on shopping ke mood mein hain. Har cheez khareedni hai”. This, of course, led to a wave of comments from Tweeple, who were soon to follow course.
