Abstract
Franchisee based cricket tournaments triggered with the Indian Premier League that started in 2008. Prior to that, there was no such type of cricket where teams were formed by franchisee through competitive bidding. The chapter deals with the origin of this new dimension of cricket and the process through which each cricketer is associated with a price tag. The different models of players’ bidding in general, used in other franchisee sports, and with particular reference to the IPL are discussed in this chapter. Some existing models of predicting the final bid price of the cricketers are also visited.
