A total of 405 players will be up for grabs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 mini-auction. The list includes several prominent batters who are expected to fetch multi-million deals.
After a poor campaign as Punjab Kings captain last season, Mayank Agarwal got axed, and he will now feature in the bidding event. The Indian opener can utilize the powerplay overs, and his ability to score big runs makes him an even greater asset.
Having played his last IPL match in 2017, Travis Head is set to return to the competition. The Australian southpaw has made a name for himself with his aggressive batting in the Test arena.
Another player who has risen to prominence recently is Harry Brook of England. The southpaw scored three centuries in as many games in the recently-concluded Pakistan Test series. He struck at 93.41.
Having made a magnificent international comeback earlier this year, Rilee Rossouw would be in demand. The South African dasher, who played his last IPL match in 2015, has scored 1,410 T20 runs this year, striking at 172.37.
Nicholas Pooran enjoyed a decent IPL 2022 with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), having slammed 306 runs at a strike rate of 144.33. The West Indies star did well in the recently-concluded Abu Dhabi T10 league as well.
