📌 About the Event

The IPL Auction at Core Fusion 2026 is a high-stakes strategic simulation designed for cricket enthusiasts and tactical thinkers. It mimics the real world pressure of the Indian Premier League auction room, where teams must balance a limited budget (purse) while bidding against rivals to build the most balanced and powerful cricket squad. This event tests financial management, player valuation skills, and the ability to stay calm under the ticking clock of a bidding war.
