IPL 2023 Auction: 991 Players Register For Upcoming IPL 2023 Auction In Kochi

IPL 2023 Auction is expected to be a fascinating one. Last year, there was a mega auction as two new teams Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) & Gujarat Titans (GT) came into the competition. The 2022 edition was a remarkable one as there was even contest between bat and ball.

The likes of Kane Williamson and Dwayne Bravo were not retained by their franchises which were quite astonishing. It won’t be wrong to say that IPL is becoming a performance-oriented league. It would be interesting to see how the 2023 Auction pans out at Kochi on 23rd December.

Exciting Auction on Cards

It is assumed that a lot of teams are targeting Cameron Green as the all-rounder has some serious striking ability. The 23 year old is expected to be the next big thing in the World Cricket as he can also provide a couple of overs to the team. Recently Ricky Ponting Hinted that Delhi Capitals (DC) may go for him as we can expect a lot of franchises bidding for him.

Sunrisers Hyderabad has the highest purse of 42.25 Crore who are aiming to start afresh. The same is with Punjab Kings (PBKS) who has a purse of 32.20.  LSG has a purse of  23.35 Crore.

KKR has got the lowest purse of 7.05 Crore.
