On December 23, the Indian Premier League (IPL) mini-auction will begin in Kochi with Hugh Edmeades serving as the auctioneer once more. In 2018, Edmeades succeeded Richard Madley as the IPL auction host, a position he has held ever since. On the first day of the mega-auction in Bengaluru in February of this year, Edmeades fainted out during the ballroom of the ITC Gardenia hotel suffering \u201cpostural hypotension.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edmeades received immediate medical attention, and on the first day of the two-day Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auction at the Hotel ITC Gardenia in Bengaluru, it was determined that he was not fit to proceed.<\/p>\n
Hugh Edmeades was absent, therefore Charu Sharma, a sports presenter, took over as the auctioneer. However, the franchises and BCCI officials applauded loudly and gave Edmeades a standing ovation as he returned to lead the last phase of the auction.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am thrilled to have been asked by the BCCI to conduct the 2023 IPL auction and am excited about visiting Kochi for the first time,\u201d Hugh Edmeades said.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On December 23, the Indian Premier League (IPL) mini-auction will begin in Kochi with Hugh Edmeades serving as the auctioneer\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":27800,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3094,3088],"class_list":["post-4797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-charu-sharma","tag-hugh-edmeades"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
