IPL 2023 auction: All-rounders who can start a bidding war
IPL 2023
Several prominent all-rounders will go under the hammer in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 mini-auction. Many are expected to fetch multi-million deals.
Ben Stokes
Arguably the finest all-rounder going around, Ben Stokes has been a formidable force for Team England. He is a substantial middle-order batter who can contribute significantly with the ball.
Sam Curran
Stokes' England teammate Sam Curran is also expected to fetch big bucks. The left-arm pacer, who can strike big in the end overs, was instrumental in taking England to this year's ICC T20 World Cup title.
Cameron Green
Cameron Green has made a tremendous start to his white-ball career and many are backing him to go big. The Australian all-rounder has shown the versatility to bat at different positions.
Jason Holder
Although Team West Indies has struggled in recent years, Jason Holder has gone from strength to strength. The right-arm quick can bowl in all stages and has several weapons in his arsenal.
Shakib Al Hasan
Though Shakib Al Hasan went unsold in last season's mega-auction, he might fetch a lucrative deal in the upcoming event. The Bangladesh talisman is a genuine all-rounder, and his numbers speak volumes of his prowess.
