IPL Auction 2023: 3 Australian Players That Mumbai Indians Can Target.  Mumbai Indians (MI) had an IPL 2022 season to forget and with only 4 wins from 14 matches, the Rohit Sharma-led side finished at the last spot in the points table. Since there was a mega auction this year, the franchise couldn’t retain the services of the majority of its players and brought in fresh faces.

Adam Zampa is Australia’s premier spinner in the limited-overs circuit. The leg-spinner has been entrusted to provide crucial breakthroughs for his national side and has delivered the goods on most occasions. The 30-year-old has featured in 72 T20Is and bagged 82 wickets at an economy of 6.93.

Adam Zampa is a wily customer and has the ability to deceive batters in the air and off the pitch. He has shown his bowling might in T20 leagues around the world and picked up a total of 253 scalps in 218 games played in the shortest format at an economy of 7.30. The veteran spinner has fared well in the lucrative T20 tournament- IPL as well and picked up 21 wickets in 14 matches at an economy of 7.74. He may be acquired by Mumbai Indians at IPL Auction 2023.

Kane Richardson

has proven his mettle in T20 leagues around the world and evolved into one of the most sought-after fast bowlers in the shortest format. He has played 154 T20 games and taken a sensational tally of 200 wickets at an economy of 8.05. The 31-year-old has played 35 T20Is and bagged 44 scalps at an economy of 8.33.

Kane Richardson can bowl at any phase of the game and is well-known for his death-over skills. He has a pinpoint accurate yorker in his arsenal and can nail it at will. The Australian pacer put on a show with the ball at The Hundred 2022 and picked up 13 scalps in seven games at an economy of 7.89. He has played for Pune Warriors India, Rajasthan Royals, and Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL, picking 19 scalps in 15 games averaging 24.84.

Many franchises do not have top-drawer bowlers to deliver the goods at the fag end of the innings and they could look at someone like Kane Richardson to address their death-bowling concerns. Therefore, IPL teams could go hammer and tongs at the auction to include the Eudunda-born on their side. He may be acquired by Mumbai Indians at IPL Auction 2023.

High-level alarm bells have been ringing since Australian player Cameron Green entered the IPL Auction 2023. Cameron Green, who has a history of injuries, is quickly making his way onto the Australian national teams in all three formats. He wasn’t in the T20 World Cup 2022 initial XI, but he made the Australian World Cup team as a last-minute injury replacement. 

Opening the batting in T20I cricket for the very first time, he struck two fifties in three games ending his series against India with 118 runs from three games striking at 214.55 and averaging nearly 40. He hasn’t played IPL yet but will be on MI’s radar at IPL Auction 2023.
