Indian Premier League popularly known as the IPL is not just a cricket tournament series and a competition but is festival in itself. People throughout the world every single year wait for the ultimate ‘cricketing festival’ to happen and entertain them for 6 long weeks. People not only witness great matches but also the best of the players. Players from different cricket teams around the world participate in the tournament and they are then selected by the owners of the teams through a bid that takes places every year.
There are a few players who always top the bidding list with a whooping amount of money they are sold at to the respective teams. But that everybody knows who is sold at the highest and the lowest. So today we would tell you something different about these players-The MVP i.e. most valued player. These players are decided on their extra ordinary performances that they deliver on field as in the highest number of runs made or the highest number of wickets taken or the best fielders etc.
