IPL 2023 Team wise Auction Players
The IPL 2023 is scheduled on 23 December 2022 in Kochi. The retained and released players list have to provide by all the franchises to the BCCI until 15 November 2022. This mini-auction franchise will rebuild its teams to make them robust and competitive. In the mega auction, franchises have some amount left in their stock, which will be added in the mini-auction. The purse value in the auction will increase by INR 5 crore, making the total purse value INR 95 crore.
Punjab Kings had a colossal purse value, i.e., INR 3.45 crore, after the previous purse auction, 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).

This year mini auction franchise will keep their eyes on some masterstroke players who performed extraordinarily in T20 World Cup 2022 and the recent year. Players like Alex Hales, Ben Stokes, Cameron Green, Sam Curran, Sikandar Raza, Adil Rashid and Tasken Ahmed will be in huge demand and likely to get a higher bid. Three teams, Delhi, Lucknow and Punjab, put their foot forward for the overseas players as they bought only 7 overseas players.
Final Thoughts
Defending champion Hardik Pandya’s led team, Gujarat Titans, will endeavour to uphold their momentum at the upper echelon. However, below the belt team in IPL 2022, Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will try to bounce back and start from scratch. It will be intriguing to watch if the Indian and Mumbai Indian skipper Rohit Sharma break the shackle in this IPL season and return in the form to be a redeemer for his team or not.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indian’s loyal and masterstroke all-rounder Kieron Pollard has announced his retirement from IPL today (15 November 2022). He was with MI since 2010 and played only for a single franchise. Kolkata Knight Riders’ most expensive player Pat Cummins along with Sam Billings has taken a foot behind from the IPL 2023.
