While the IPL auctions might be one of the most exhilarating aspects of the game, it can sometimes come off in the wrong way. This is especially true when players that are subjected to bids are also playing in a major tournament.

As the Indian U19 boys were playing in the World Cup, Rahul Dravid confesses that the IPL week was stressful due to the anxiety that it provides to the players. The former India captain also admired the youngsters’ maturity regarding the whole issue

"That week during the IPL auction was a bit stressful but credit to the boys, once that was done they came back to practice and switched on. Only those three days I was a bit worried.

"We had some loose curfews, sometimes they followed it. What impressed me was the level of maturity they showed in the age of social media, most of which I am not even aware of."

Indeed, with social media, the world is in the hands of almost everyone and that is something that can really be stressful for any youngster.
