"It's a small auction but I think a lot of teams will have a lot of work to do. It was unbelievable the way it went in the UAE amid all the Covid scare in the months of October and November," Ganguly told Star Sports.

"It got amazing ratings, the best in the last 13 years. This year it is going to be big as well. We'll see if we can get crowds back into the IPL. That's a decision we will have to take shortly," he said.

"We wanted the fans back. I know the Gujarat Cricket Association will add a bit more to the cricket, not just with the game but a lot of other things around the game”.
