IPL 2023 Team Based Auction Players
IPL 2023 will be held on 23 December 2022 in Kochi. All franchises have to provide the list of retained and released players to the BCCI till 15 November 2022. This mini-auction franchise will restructure their teams to make them stronger and more competitive. In the mega auction, franchisees have some amount left in their stock, which will be added to the mini-auction. The auction will increase the value of the purse by INR 5 crore, bringing the total purse value to INR 95 crore
Punjab Kings had the biggest purse value after the previous purse auction, i.e. INR 3.45 crore, followed by Chennai Super Kings (INR 2.95 crore), Royal Challengers Bangalore (INR 1.55 crore), Rajasthan Royals (INR 0.95 crore), and Kolkata. Knight Riders (INR 0.45 Crore).
IPL 2022 champions Gujarat Titans have a total left worth of INR 0.15 crore and the second new team Lucknow Super Giants is unlucky. Three teams – Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals – had INR 0.10 crore for the mini-auction.
This year the mini auction franchise will set their eyes on some masterstroke players who have performed exceptionally well in T20 World Cup 2022 and in recent years. Players like Alex Hales, Ben Stokes, Cameron Green, Sam Curran, Sikandar Raja, Adil Rashid and Tasken Ahmed will be in high demand and likely to fetch higher rates. Three teams, Delhi, Lucknow and Punjab put their foot forward for foreign players as they bought only 7 foreign players.
last thought
Defending champions Hardik Pandya-led team, Gujarat Titans, will look to maintain their momentum at the top. However, below the belt teams in IPL 2022, Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will try to bounce back and start from scratch. It remains to be seen whether Indian and Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma will break the streak and return to form this IPL season.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians loyalist and masterstroke all-rounder Kieron Pollard announced his retirement from IPL today (15 November 2022). He has been with MI since 2010 and has only played for a single franchise. Along with Sam Billings, Kolkata Knight Riders’ most expensive player Pat Cummins has taken a step back from IPL 2023.
