The IPL governing council handed the franchise a list of 1166, and after all the franchises gave their wish-list, it was pruned to 333. Out of them, 214 are Indians, 119 are overseas, and two are from associate nations. Among the 77 slots available, 30 are earmarked for overseas, and Australians will once again be in demand, although the likes of World Cup-winning skipper Pat Cummins, final hero Travis Head, keeper Jos Inglis, star pacer Mitchell Starc are all in Rs 2 crore category.
