IPL 2023 Auction: 3 Afghanistan Players Who Will Cause A Bidding War Based on T20 World Cup 2022 Performance

Rahmanullah Gurbaz

Rahmanullah Gurbaz has demonstrated his bat talents at the current Asia Cup 2022. He has played fairly well in T20Is. The best individual T20I score at the Asia Cup was achieved by Gurbaz against Sri Lanka, shattering Rohit Sharma’s previous record of 84 runs in 45 balls, which had been set in 2016. Gujarat Titans signed Gurbaz for the IPL 2022 season, however, the wicketkeeper-batter never got a chance to play.

Mujeeb ur Rahman

Mujeeb made his IPL debut for Kings XI Punjab in 2018 at the age of 17 years and 11 days, setting a record that he still holds today. Things have not quite gone according to plan for Mujeeb after being selected for the astronomical sum of INR 4 crore at such a young age. Mujeeb has only appeared in 19 IPL games, more than 4 years after his debut.

Mujeeb is currently playing T20 league all around the world and getting lots of appreciation for his bowling from all around the world. So, IPL teams will surely be going to bid for Rahman in the IPL auction 2023.

Najibullah Zadran

Najibullah Zadran of Afghanistan hit 43 runs in 17 balls to help his team defeat Bangladesh in the 2022 Asia Cup match. In the final overs, the left-hander had one of the cleanest strikes of the ball. A few IPL teams would be interested in his services because of his extensive T20 cricket experience.
