Harry Brook is an exciting young English batter who has been phenomenal in international cricket this year. He recently played with a strike rate of almost 100 in the Test series against Pakistan. Ben Stokes called Harry Brook their all-format player and someone who can equal Virat Kohli in skill level. Harry Brook had a great T20 World Cup and a fine series before the World Cup against Pakistan. He is a fearless player who can take down any opposition. In IPL 2023 Auction Harry Brook is expected to fetch a huge amount. Most of the IPL teams will certainly target Harry Brook in IPL 2023 Auction. Below are five teams who will go after Harry Brook with all they may have at the auction.
1- Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad is the team with the highest purse value in IPL 2023 Auction. They have more than Rs 42 Crores and will most likely go after foreign players who can prove to be game-changing in IPL 2023. SRH will target Harry Brook for sure, and they might pick him as well if they are willing to go till about Rs 10 Crore for Harry Brook in IPL 2023 Auction.
2- Gujarat Titans
The last year’s winner Gujarat Titans has a squad that is already filled with players who can make them win the tournament another time this season. However, they have about Rs 19 Crore in their purse and don’t be surprised if they decide to spend all of their money on Harry Brook in IPL 2023 Auction.
3- Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings have Rs 32 Crore in the IPL 2023 Auction, and they will most likely be willing to spend a huge amount on Harry Brook. Punjab Kings can take him as a backup for Jonny Bairstow and Bhanuka Rajapaksa.
4- Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow Super Giants have Rs 23 Crore in their purse, and they will be looking to buy at least one destructive foreign batter. After releasing Manish Pandey, they need someone who can bat in the middle order and carry their team to wins, and Harry Brook can be that player for them in IPL 2023.
5- Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals, captained by Rishabh Pant and coached by Ricky Ponting, also need a fiery batter in the middle over. Last year they struggled in the middle overs and ultimately lost because of that on many occasions. Harry Brook can be an X-factor player for them. Ponting can go high for Harry Brook in this IPL auction.
Gujarat Titans won the IPL 2022 with contributions from all players. The team captained by Hardik Pandya somehow found ways to win and ultimately lifted the IPL 2022 trophy. They have retained their core team but will be looking forward to an even better team in the IPL 2023 Auction. There is no guarantee that the same team from last year will make them win another season of IPL. Gujarat Titans will be targeting a few explosive players in IPL 2023 Auction. What they need are a few X-factor players who can turn the game around in just a couple of overs. Here we have listed the five best players that Gujarat Titans are likely to go after in IPL 2023 Auction. Gujarat Titans have Rs 19.5 Crore left in their purse for the IPL 2023 Auction.
1- Rilee Rossouw
The left-handed batter Rilee Rossouw has blasted two international hundreds in T20Is this year. He is someone who can be slotted at number three in the team of Gujarat Titans. Rilee Rossouw can provide that impetus that Gujarat Titans need in the middle overs. His base price is Rs 2 Crore, and we can expect Gujarat Titans to spend about Rs 5 Crore to acquire him.
2- Harry Brook
If Gujarat Titans somehow fail to acquire Harry Brook, then they will go after Rilee Rossouw. Harry Brook has impressed people around the globe with his aggressive knocks in international cricket in the past few months. He is expected to fetch an astronomical amount in IPL 2023 Auction. Gujarat Titans may go up to Rs 10 Crore for him in the IPL 2023 Auction.
3- Cameron Green
Gujarat Titans can also target this all-rounder, who is making waves in the cricketing world. When Australia toured India before the 2022 World Cup, Cameron Green was the one player who surprised everyone. He is expected to fetch at least Rs 10 Crore at this auction, and Gujarat Titans will go bonkers for him in the IPL 2023 Auction.
4- Shakib Al Hasan
Shakib Al Hasan can be an unpopular choice for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023 Auction. He is an all-rounder who can be a perfect backup for Rashid Khan or Rahul Tewatia. Shakib Al Hasan is a big name in the cricketing world, yet to make an impactful performance in IPL 2023 Auction.
5- Nicholas Pooran
The left-handed wicketkeeper batter has always fetched a huge amount in IPL auctions. This year too many franchises will be bidding on him, and one of those franchises is likely to be Gujarat Titans. He is a destructive batter who is yet to live up to his name in the Indian Premier League. He is surely going to be a great buy for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023 Auction if they manage to acquire him.
At the IPL 2023 auction, CSK will be looking to fill some vacant spots in their squad. They will be targeting replacements for some of their senior players, as well as addressing some of their weak points. CSK will be hoping for a better season next year, and they will be looking to make some smart moves at the auction table to make that happen.
Here are 5 players CSK can target in IPL Auction 2023:
#1 Sam Curran
With an impressive performance in the recent T20 World Cup held in Australia, Sam Curran is one of the most expected players to go big in the upcoming mini-auction. The English all-rounder played for Chennai Super Kings in the 2020 and 2021 IPL seasons but missed the 2022 edition due to injury.
Curran meets all the requirements for the overseas fast bowler slot at CSK, including the ability to bowl well in the death overs. Consequently, Chennai Super Kings are likely to put up a strong bid for him at the auction.
#2 Harry Brook
The Chennai Super Kings could use an experienced spin bowler in the middle order for the 2022 season. England’s Harry Brook would be a good fit for this role.
Brook could bat at number four. He has the ability to take advantage of conditions when the ball gets a bit older and attack. This would put pressure on the opposition and give the Super Kings an edge.
#3 Riley Meredith
With Adam Milne being released ahead of the mini-auction 2023, the Chennai Super Kings are in need of a fast bowler. Riley Meredith is one of the most suitable options available.
Meredith has shown remarkable potential and can be groomed into a very successful player under the guidance of MS Dhoni. He will be available at a very reasonable price and could be a very valuable asset to the team.
#4 Narayan Jagadeesan
There’s no doubt that the Tamil Dadu keeper-batsman should be one of CSK’s top targets in the upcoming auction. His recent performances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy–830 runs in 8 innings at an average of 138.33–have been terrific, and he would give CSK the option of playing an Indian keeper-batsman in the XI. CSK released him just before the domestic tournament, but seeing his potential and capability, they should buy him back.
The Chennai Super Kings are in need of a power hitter and Nicholas Pooran is one of the most attractive options available in the IPL 2023 Mini Auction.
Nicholas Pooran’s impressive form in the T10 League has caught the eye of many cricket fans. He led the Deccan Gladiators to victory in Abu Dhabi, and his availability for the full season makes him a prime target for CSK’s Wishlist. Pooran is the only player to hit a century in the T10 format
IPL 2023 Auction will have a total of 405 players who are available to be sold in the auction. There are only 87 slots left in the ten teams. In the auction, there are 273 Indian players and 132 overseas – including four from Associate nations. A total of 119 capped players and 286 uncapped players are up for auction.
In the IPL, spinners become a necessity for any team on the turning wicket in India. They play a crucial role in providing breakthroughs for their teams in the middle. In the tournament’s last edition, Yuzvendra Chahal from Rajasthan Royals won the Purple Cap by becoming the highest wicket-taker with 27 wickets in 17 games with a scintillating economy of 7.75.
It is clear from these statistics that spinners are a vital part of any team’s success in the IPL. In the upcoming mini-auction on December 23, 2023, franchises will look forward to investing in some skilled spinners keeping the Indian conditions and past record of spinners in mind.
Here are the 5 spinners who can get a good amount in IPL 2023 Auction
1. Adam Zampa
Despite being the second leading wicket-taker in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, Adam Zampa remained unsold in the last IPL auction. Zampa first caught attention in 2016 when he played for Rising Pune Super Giants and took six wickets against Sunrisers Hyderabad in his debut season.
Adam Zampa is likely to be one of the most sought-after figures in the upcoming mini-auction after delivering consistent performances in international T20I events. In the recent T20 World Cup 2022, he was the most successful bowler for Australia along with Josh Hazlewood. Zampa might engage franchises in a bidding war on the auction table after his excellent performances with the ball in the T20 World Cup and Big Bash League.
2. Adil Rashid
Adil Rashid was one of England’s leading bowlers in their second T20 World Cup win. With four wickets in six games and an economy rate of 6.12, Rashid played a crucial role in the tournament. Earlier this month, he registered for the mini-auction for the 2023 IPL. His base price is INR 2 crores, but given his recent form, he is expected to be bought by a franchise for a higher amount. Although he was unnoticed by franchises in the 2022 mega auction, he is expected to generate more interest after his impressive bowling performances in the World T20.
3. Akeal Hosein
Akeal Hosein, a 29-year-old left-arm spinner for the West Indies, has registered for the forthcoming IPL mini-auction. In 32 T20I games, he’s taken 25 wickets at an economy rate of 7.03. With his solid bowling record and ability to bowl on spin-friendly wickets in India, he could be an interesting buy at the auction. Franchises like Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals could target all rounders like him to make their team even stronger Akeal Hosein is currently playing for Melbourne Renegades in BBL 2022-23 and is doing wonders for the team with both bat and ball.
4. Mujeeb Ur Rahman
Mujeeb Ur Rahman made his IPL debut in 2018 with the Punjab Kings and had a successful first season. He took 14 wickets in 11 games at an economy rate of 6.99. However, he was not able to replicate that performance in the following two seasons. In 2021, he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad but only played one game due to competition from Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi. He was not bought by any franchises in the 2022 mega auction, but this might change in 2023.
Mujeeb has 49 wickets in 36 T20I games for Afghanistan, with a brilliant economy rate of 6.22 and an average of 17.02. These numbers could interest some franchises at the 2023 auction, especially Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals who don’t have an experienced international spinner in their squad.
5. Shakib Al Hasan
Shakib Al Hasan is an experienced cricketer who has played in the Indian Premier League for a number of years. He was banned from playing in 2020, but he made a comeback in 2021. He is set to be auctioned off again in 2023. Although he was unsold in 2022, his experience and ability could interest some franchises in 2023. He has played for Bangladesh since 2006 and has 128 wickets in 109 T20I matches. In his IPL career, he has 63 wickets in 71 games. Some franchises might be interested in him because of these numbers.
Captain for Chennai Super Kings in IPL, MS Dhoni, has told the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) management that he wants Sam Curran at any cost from IPL 2023 Auction. Sam Curran has already played for CSK in the previous few Indian Premier League tournaments. He is one of the best all-rounders who are up for sale in this Mini Auction of IPL 2023, which is going to be held in Kochi on 23rd December 2022.
Why does MS Dhoni want to buy Sam Curran for CSK in IPL 2023 Auction?
MS Dhoni is looking at Sam Curran as his potential successor in IPL. Last year, Dhoni handed the captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja for the first few games, but the latter could not handle the pressure and crumble in front of the opponents. CSK then reinstated Dhoni as captain. Now, MS Dhoni is all set to retire from IPL after this year, and he needs a successor who can carry forward the legacy of CSK. Sam Curran has a wonderful record in IPL while playing for Chennai Super Kings, and Dhoni wants to groom him as a future captain that’s why MS Dhoni has instructed his team management to buy Sam Curran at any cost in IPL 2023 Auction.
Sam Curran, Ben Stokes, Cameron Green and Sikandar Raza are the top all-rounders who are up for sale in IPL 2023 Auction. If CSK fails to buy Sam Curran in the IPL 2023 Auction, they will most likely target Cameron Green or Ben Stokes. Both Stokes and Green have the same skills as Sam Curran, making them a great alternative in case CSK fails to buy Sam Curran in IPL 2023 Auction.
How much is CSK going to spend on Sam Curran in IPL 2023 Auction?
Chennai Super Kings has Rs 20.43 Crore as purse money in IPL 2023 Auction. MS Dhoni has instructed CSK management to go after Sam Curran in IPL 2023 Auction and spend as much as RS 12 Crores on him.
Mumbai Indians have had disappointing seasons the past two years and have released almost a dozen players in preparation for the 2023 IPL auction. The team, led by Rohit Sharma, failed to retain several of their top overseas players after a lackluster performance in the 2022 season. MI has a remaining budget of Rs 20.55 crore for the upcoming mini-auction and there are 9 slots to fill, including 3 overseas players. Mumbai Indians will be looking to make some strategic buys at the auction.
Top 5 Players Mumbai Indians should target in IPL Auction 2023
#1 Sam Curran
Mumbai Indians might replace Pollard with Sam Curran, who can be a useful asset due to his ability to contribute with both bat and ball. Curran’s recent performance in the T20 World Cup has made him a top priority for many teams. He not only became the first specialist bowler to win the Player of the Tournament award but also topped the charts for the most wickets taken in the tournament. With 1533 T20 runs and 137 T20 wickets under his belt, he is certainly a player that any team would love to have. It is expected that Curran will attract a bidding war in the IPL 2023 mini-auction. Mumbai Indians will likely try to acquire his services at any cost, especially since he was previously a part of their arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings.
#2 Cameron Green
Mumbai Indians can target Cameron Green in the IPL Auction 2023. Cameron Green is raising eyebrows with his performances for the Australian national team. He’s been plagued by injuries in the past, but he’s been making a strong comeback for himself lately. He had an impressive series against India, where he opened the batting in T20I cricket for the very first time. He hit two half-centuries in three games. Since then, every franchise is eyeing on him.
#3 Ben Stokes
Mumbai Indians can target Ben Stokes in the IPL Auction 2023. In the previous IPL season, Stokes played he was brilliantly with both bat and ball. Ben Stokes has played 43 IPL games in which he scored 920 runs and took 28 wickets. With Kieron Pollard’s recent retirement, Stokes is the most eminent replacement and the plus point is that he can be a proper bowler as well. We expect Ben Stokes to be the highest-bid player in IPL Auction 2023.
#4 N Jagadeesan
Despite the fact that Mumbai Indians paid 15.25 crores for Ishan Kishan in last year’s mega auction, they should still target N Jagadeesan in this year’s mini-auction. This is because if Ishaan Kishan is unavailable for any matches due to injury, Tamil Dadu keeper-batsman N Jagadeesan can provide the same level of services. Jagadeesan’s recent performances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy were truly amazing. In 8 innings he smashed 830 runs, including 5 centuries, with 277 being his most impressive and highest score.
#5 Sikandar Raza
The Mumbai Indians should consider signing Sikandar Raza in the 2023 IPL auction. Raza is a phenomenal performer in the short format of the game who has shown tremendous ability in both batting and bowling throughout his career. In 158 T20s, he has scored 3109 runs while taking 79 wickets. He was excellent in the recently concluded 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. Raza is quite economical, especially in the aftermath of powerplays. If the Mumbai Indians are unable to acquire the services of Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, or Cameron Green, then Raza would be an excellent target.
With the IPL 2023 auction taking place this Friday, all eyes will be on leg-spinner Adam Zampa. Zampa has been one of the most effective spin bowlers in white-ball formats in recent times and is expected to generate a lot of interest at the auction. With a base price of ₹1.50 crore, he is sure to have plenty of suitors.
Zampa has experience with the IPL, having played for the Rising Pune Supergiants in 2016 and the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2020. In 14 IPL matches, he has taken 21 wickets at an economy rate of 7.74. He has been a much-improved leg-spinner in recent times, leading the way in Australia’s triumph at the T20 World Cup 2021.
Here are the 5 IPL Teams that should target Adam Zampa in the IPL auction 2023
1. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
The Hyderabad-based cricket franchise is searching for a leg-spinner to replace Rashid Khan, who was one of their most successful players in IPL history. After Khan’s departure, the team’s bowling has been subpar. They need a leader in their bowling lineup. The last few seasons have been disappointing for the franchise. They will be active in the upcoming auction, looking to add some match-winners to their squad. Zampa could be a suitable candidate for them. The Australian brings quality to their bowling line-up. Their home ground is not considered high-scoring, but due to the big dimensions of the ground, leg spinners have a high chance of success there. Rashid used it to his advantage. The team already has Washington Sundar, and the Zampa-Sundar duo could be dangerous, especially for overseas batters.
IPL fans were disappointed with Mumbai Indians’ performance in the 2022 season. However, MI has a history of making comebacks, so fans are hopeful that the upcoming season will be a Mumbai Indians special. Jofra Archer’s availability for the 2023 season is still up in the air. However, if he is available, fans can expect to see Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer bowling together. This duo would be a nightmare for many batters. MI has a pretty decent fast bowling line-up but they could still use some reliable spinners. Zampa would be a fabulous addition to their squad if they could get him at the auction.
The Super Giants are coming off a strong maiden season in the IPL, and they’re looking to add even more balance to their team at the auction. They’ve got talented batters, proven fast bowlers, and promising spinners, led by Ravi Bishnoi who was fantastic for them last season. If they can manage to secure the services of Adam Zampa, it would be a real coup for the franchise. Having two-leg spinners of such high quality would be a real blessing for LSG.
4. Punjab Kings (PBKS)
The Punjab Kings have been playing in the IPL since the first season, but are still searching for their first title. They are known for making big buys at auction and will enter the auction with INR 32.2 crore available. The squad usually changes a lot from year to year, with only nine slots available this time around. They are expected to be the most desperate side at the auction, so it will be interesting to see their performance in IPL 2023.
One player they may target is Australian leg-spinner Zampa. He is a popular T20 cricketer who travels all around the globe to play in different leagues. His experience could be invaluable to the team, and they may look to him to provide leadership for their bowling line-up.
5. Delhi Capitals (DC)
It’s been looking promising for the Delhi Capitals in the last few seasons of the IPL. They have a great lineup of openers, a solid middle order, explosive finishers, and effective bowling on both fast and slow pitches. They don’t need to buy many players during this year’s auction. The team will be focused on finally winning their maiden IPL title next year something that’s eluded them, alongside Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings, since the league’s inception.
The spinners were particularly impressive for DC last season. Kuldeep was exceptional and we saw that he becomes even more threatening when another leg-spinner is bowling from the other end. The Kuldeep-Chahal duo has been hugely successful. If they can get Zampa as well, that would make for a very dangerous duo attack.
