But as long as IPL will endways November 10 and thus subsequent IPL are getting to be played after few months, KKR chief executive Venky Mysore reckons that it won’t be a nasty idea to postpone the IPL mega auction which can happen next year. Other franchises have also expressed that they are getting to need time to think on the blocks for the auction because it takes plenty of preparation for such a huge event and it should be postponed for one year.
