IPL Auction 2023: 3 Teams Who Can Target Kane Williamson In The IPL 2023 Auction
1. Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings is the first team that can target Kane Williamson in IPL 2023 auction. Last year, CSK faced issues in the middle order after the absence of Suresh Raina. Chennai Super Kings also struggled to score big totals on the board and faced batting issues.
If they pick Kane Williamson in their team, CSK will have a good one-down batter in their team. Moreover, veteran skipper MS Dhoni is expected to play his last season in IPL 2023 and Kane Williamson can be a good skipper option for the team in the future. Hence, CSK might pick Kane Williamson during the auction. Kane Williamson will add more firepower to the CSK batting department alongside all-rounders Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shivam Dube.
Gujarat Titans
3. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Kolkata Knight Riders is another team that can target Kane Williamson in IPL 2023 auction. KKR, which reached the finals in the IPL 2021 season, could not even qualify for playoffs in the last season of IPL 2022.
After the team’s dismal show, the owners might aim to pick some powerful names in the squad. KKR has parted ways with powerful England batter Jason Roy. Now, they will look for a strong overseas batsman and might target Kane Williamson in the IPL 2023 auction. Kane Williamson’s inclusion may mean KKR will be packed with big-hitting middle-order batters in Shreyas Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, and Nitish Rana to name a few.
