==Player's Auction==
===Icon players===
Icon player was a status given to five players of the [[Indian Premier League]] to ensure that top drawer players will represent their respective home city sides, which was important for the league to increase fan support and interest among the locals. The icon players received 15% percent more money than the highest paid player of the team bought in the auction. Initially four icon players were designated but later on the request of [[Delhi Daredevils]], [[Virender Sehwag]]'s name was added to the list. [[Deccan Chargers]] also asked for Icon Player status to be given to [[VVS Laxman]], but he declined the offer in order to allow the franchise to spend more money on other players and still not breach the [[US$]]5 million salary cap.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/content/story/337920.html|title=Icon status for Sehwag but not Laxman |website=ESPNcricinfo|date=19 February 2008|access-date=24 September 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080221/jsp/sports/story_8930131.jsp|title=Laxman truly is special|work=The Telegraph|date=21 February 2008|access-date=24 September 2018}}</ref><ref name="auc1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/content/story/338106.html|title=How the teams stack up |website=ESPNcricinfo|date=20 February 2008|access-date=24 September 2018}}</ref>
