Uthappa is expected to be the most sought after Indian player and has the highest base price of Rs 1.5 crore. He will be part of the first set of players to go under the hammer that also includes Aaron Finch, Chris Lynn, Jason Roy and Eoin Morgan.

There are seven overseas players in the top list with base price of Rs 2 crore - Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Chris Lynn, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Dale Steyn and Angelo Mathews.

Among overseas players, Glenn Maxwell can start a bidding war. The Aussie all-rounder will be available for a base price of Rs 2 crore and is part of the second set that includes Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Marsh, Dale Steyn, and Angelo Mathews.

Among the uncapped Indian players, India's Under-19 captain Priyam Garg could end up getting a hefty amount.
