Top 5 Most mentioned auction players on Twitter:
Harbhajan Singh (@harbhajan_singh): An #IPL veteran, Harbhajan Singh is the most talked about player on Twitter when it comes to conversations around the #IPLAuction. He was the skipper when Mumbai Indians won the IPL in 2011, and he’s been a constant figure for that franchise. This year though, he’s going to be in the auction and it will be interesting to see if Mumbai goes for him, or if he attracts attention from Kings XI Punjab (@lionsdenkxip) who might see him as a figure that could pull in the home crowd.
