A few years ago, all the franchises needed to choose several players from their respective catchment areas outside the auction. At the present, a different number of homegrown players are playing for several franchises:

Murali Vijay, R. Sai Kishore, and N Jagadeesan are the three players playing for Chennai Super Kings in this year's IPL.

Murali Vijay leads the Tamil group, while N Jagadeesan is a talented wicket-keeper, and Sai Kishore is one of the leading finger-spinners in the domestic circuit.
