IPL Auction 2023 will take place in two weeks. The reverse countdown to the mini auction has started, and all eyes are on the auction pool now. 991 players from different parts of the globe have registered themselves for the upcoming mini auction of the Indian Premier League.
The highest base price category for this year’s IPL is INR 2 crore. There are also categories of INR 1.5 crore, INR 1 crore, INR 75 lakh, INR 50 lakh and INR 20 lakh. Players put their names in the categories they feel they deserve to be a part of.
Many cricketers are a part of the 1 crore band in the IPL 2023 Auction. However, not all of them may earn a contract. Here’s a list of five such players who may go unsold from that category.
1. Kedar Jadhav may go unsold at IPL 2023 Auction
Kedar Jadhav was a match-winner for India in ODIs once upon a time. However, he could not make much of an impact in IPL 2020 and 2021. He is likely to go unsold like IPL 2022.
2. David Wiese may go unsold at IPL 2023 Auction
Namibian all-rounder David Wiese has done well in Pakistan Super League and Abu Dhabi T10. However, the IPL franchises have not shown any interest in him. The same trend may continue in 2023.
3. Moises Henriques may go unsold at IPL 2023 Auction
Another veteran all-rounder to feature on this list is Moises Henriques. The Australian all-rounder has a lot of T20 experience, but lack of exposure to international cricket in the recent past and injury issues may work against him.
4. Luke Wood
A rather unknown player Luke Wood has registered himself with a base price of INR 1 crore. It seems unlikely that he would make it to the final list of players.
5. Martin Guptill
Most of the IPL teams have a settled opening pair. Also, Martin Guptill has lost his place in the New Zealand team, so he may go unsold at the IPL Auction again.
