London: An Indian Premier League (IPL) player agent has reportedly revealed that one of the biggest secrets to making his players a fortune at the IPL auction is starting his players on a low base price, thereby providing the best chance of franchises starting a bidding war and greatly inflating their price.

IPL kingmaker Tony Connelly manages Glenn Maxwell, who has been sold for plus-one million dollars, along with other IPL-bound Australian players including David Warner and Nathan Coulter-Nile.
