Twitter peeps, need some help.
Our son has worked on developing an IPL auction tool that he would like to get reviewed by domain experts & serious IPL followers for feedback.
If you are an IPL buff or know someone connected with an IPL auction team please DM me.
Bribes in the form of cheesecake may be involved.

In 1999, Australian truck driver Bill Morgan was involved in a serious accident that left him in a coma. Even though doctors said he had no chance of living, he miraculously woke up after 12 days and was completely fine.
Feeling lucky for having survived, he went on and bought a scratch lottery ticket. The result? He won a $17,000 car.
Normally, winning a car wouldn’t have made it to the news, but because of Morgan’s accident story, Channel 9 decided to do a feature on the man who was "clinically dead and came back to win the lottery."
While filming, they asked him to buy a lottery ticket so they could reenact the winning scratch. He happily obliged and started scratching the ticket on camera. To everyone's dismay, he won a further $250,000.
This is Czech gymnast Véra Cáslavská. In 1968, she faced off against the Soviets when she signed a manifesto calling for democratic change in Czechoslovakia. When the Soviet Union invaded the country, Cáslavská was forced to flee to the countryside, losing her training facility and dashing her hopes of competing in the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City.
However, she did not give up. She continued her training in the forests of Moravia, where she trained by using logs as balance beams, swinging from tree branches, and lifting potato sacks to increase her upper body strength. At the last minute, she was given the green light to compete in the Olympics.
"While the Soviet gymnasts were already in Mexico City, adjusting to the altitude and the climate, I was hanging from trees, practicing my floor exercise in the meadow in front of the cottage and building calluses on my hands by shoveling coal. Then I went to Mexico and won the gold medal," she told the Los Angeles Times in a 1990 interview.
In her lifetime, she won 22 international titles between 1959 and 1968. This included 11 European championships, 4 world titles, and 7 Olympic gold medals.
Shocked at Infosys Narayan Murty statement of 70 hr work week being good. His son Rohan Murty & I started our PhD program at Harvard together & stayed at the same dorm. Rohan had hobbies, leisure, travel & worked - not possible with 70 hr work week. Same for me. Wish it for all.
