IPL Auction 2011

This is a list of all personnel changes for the 2011 Indian Premier League.

The players auction for the 2011 Indian Premier League (fourth season) was held on 8 and 9 January 2011 at the ITC Royal Gardenia, Bangalore. The auction comprised 350 players (reduced from an initial list of 416 players) put for auction in English auction. Each player in the auction pool had a bidding base price under which franchise owners could not bid. Players were allowed to set their base price between $200,000 to $400,000.

There are reports that some teams spent $12 million on players, despite the salary cap being $9 million.

The following players remained unsold at the end of the two-day auction.

Many franchises signed players after the IPL auction, as replacement of contracted players who are not available to play due to injuries and national commitments. Under IPL rules, the replacements have to be chosen from the pool of players who went unsold in the January auction, and cannot be paid more than the players they are replacing, though they can be paid less.
