1st woman IPL auctioneer hammers home art of selling sports stars

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 2 January 2024
For the first time in her two-decade career, Mallika Sagar wore sneakers to work on December 19 last year. Apart from helping her fill the large shoes of British auctioneer Hugh Edmeades, the pair of kicks kept her going during her seven-hour, headline-grabbing debut selling 72 male cricketers for over Rs 200 crore in a large arena in Dubai as the IPL's first woman auctioneer. The stint came 22 years after she sold baseball memorabilia to a roomful of well-heeled Americans as the first Indian woman auctioneer at Christie's in NY.
