IPL 2023 Auction: 3 Players Released By Punjab Kings (PBKS) Who Might Go Unsold In The Auction

In the IPL 2022, Punjab Kings placed sixth, winning seven games and losing the same number. Ahead of the upcoming season, the management chose Shikhar Dhawan to lead the team. One of the nine players released by the team before the IPL 2023 season was the previous captain Mayank Agarwal. 

Many core players, including Jonny Bairstow of England, Bhanuka Rajapaksa of Sri Lanka, and Liam Livingstone of England, have remained with PBKS. Shahrukh Khan, India’s swashbuckling batter, has also been kept on.

Many of the players on the list of those who have been publicly revealed are known short-format performers, and some of them are anticipated to be in great demand during the IPL 2023 auction. There are others, though, that might not pique the franchisees’ attention and end up unsold at the future auction.  

Let’s have a look at the 3 players released by Punjab Kings (PBKS) who might go unsold in the auction.

IPL 2023 Auction: 3 Players Released By Punjab Kings (PBKS) Who Might Go Unsold In The Auction 

Ansh Patel

Ansh Patel has a long way to go after being discovered and recruited by Punjab Kings at a young age. He made an impression at the Nets, though, and he has a lot of promise for the future.  

However, the left-handed Chinaman bowler has not yet competed at the top level of domestic cricket, and he was also unable to sign his name to the PBKS playing roster in the 2022 season of the Indian Premier League. 

Writtick Chatterjee 

At the IPL 2022 mega auction, Punjab Kings paid the 29-year-old cricketer 20 lakh to use his talents. However, he was unable to crack the starting lineup and was forced to sit out the entire campaign. 

It has always been difficult for an off-spinner to bowl in the Indian Premier League and not many teams take this risk. Therefore, it seems difficult that any team will look out to buy the Bengal cricketer in the auction.

Benny Howell 

Benny Howell is a very good player in T20 cricket today. He was drafted by Punjab Kings in the 2022 Indian Premier League auction for 40 Lakhs. 

Howell is an all-arounder who can hit the ball far in slog overs, but it’s his versatility with the ball that sets him apart as a package. It is a challenge to bat against him if you’re a batter because he has 14 variations of the slower delivery up his sleeve, according to his own admission. 

However, he failed to get any kind of game time for the Punjab side, and with age not by his side, it is looking difficult to see Howell coming back to the IPL again. 

Punjab Kings Released Player List: 

Mayank Agarwal, Odean Smith, Vaibhav Arora, Benny Howell, Ishan Porel, Ansh Patel, Prerak Mankad, Sandeep Sharma, Writtick Chatterjee
