# Cricket: The player of the match in last season’s final, Faf du Plessis, is expected to be sought after by the India Premier League franchises during today’s auction. The former Proteas skipper has enjoyed a highly successful multi-season stint with the Chennai Super Kings. The man dubbed Baby AB, Dewald Brevis, has also drawn a lot of attention for his batting style which is the spitting image of icon AB de Villiers. Two new franchises, Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans, will be a part of the IPL this year.
