How to play the IPL auction wheel game
Turn a get-together into your own mini-IPL auction. Give each player (or team) an equal purse of pretend crores. Take turns spinning the wheel — the category it lands on is the type of player up for auction in that round. Everyone bids from their purse, and the highest bidder wins a player of that category for their squad. Keep going until purses run dry or every squad is full, then compare the teams you have built.
Use it for fantasy cricket draft order
Running a fantasy league draft? Spin the wheel to decide which position each manager must draft next, so nobody stacks all the batters early. It keeps the draft balanced and adds a bit of suspense to every pick.
