Star Sports launches 4th edition of Election Se Selection campaign

With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 auction scheduled for February 18, Star Sports, India’s leading sports broadcaster, has bought an exclusive platform for their fans to predict which team will buy their favourite players.

Star Sports’ Election Se Selection, is an online contest for IPL fans that allows them to have a say in the form of a vote about the VIVO IPL Auction, ahead of the upcoming auctions.

The lucky winners will be chosen based on how many of their selections match the ones that are officially chosen at the VIVO IPL 2021 auction. Post the auction, the winners of Election se Selection will get the cricket celebration kit.

Commenting on the upcoming contest, Star Sports ‘Legendary Selection’ expert and renowned former Team India batsman Gautam Gambhir said: “Election Se Selection is back for all IPL fans, and this edition will be bigger and better. The retention strategies of all teams were a mixed bag, from KXIP releasing Glenn Maxwell to Sanju Samson being named captain of Rajasthan Royals after Steve Smith was released – the unexpected has begun.”

On the other hand, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan said: “Keeping IPL enthusiasts on their toes, Election Se Selection is back this year with a renewed avatar ahead of the IPL 2021 Auctions. While some surprising retentions were seen by teams, there were also some notable ones released.”

“With a mixed bag of strategies used by various teams, it will be interesting to see what happens at the auction. It’s time for you to vote and pick the best players for the teams. I have selected mine after analysing the steals, deals and surprises. If you match my selections, you are in for a surprise – so go on, get voting,” he added.

Fans will have an opportunity to show off their IPL expertise and vote which team will end up picking the players.
