The mega auction will happen over the weekend and some of our Under-19 boys could become crorepatis in a few blinks of the eye.

Doing well at the under-19 level doesn't guarantee success at the IPL or even international level as has been seen over the years. The difference in standards is huge.

Far too many get carried away and lose focus and are out of the game or seek the mirage of greener-looking pastures. The fair thing would be to put a limit of say R1 crore for uncapped players so that they know that to go further and earn more they have a lot of hard work ahead.

Easy money has spoilt many a promising talent and that's something the administrators can prevent by ensuring that an uncapped player remains eager to keep performing year after year and not fall by the wayside as so many have done in the past.
