The highly anticipated IPL 2023 auction list was released on Thursday, December 1st, with 991 players putting their names in contention for the player auction in Kochi later this month. While 21 players were placed in the highest reserve price category of Rs 2 crore, no Indian cricketer was included for the first time in that bracket. All-rounders are a great asset to their teams, especially in the game’s shortest format. It’s no surprise that marquee all-rounders like Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, and Cameron Green have been included in this select group of players.

Stokes, who led England to victory in the T20 World Cup final against Pakistan last month, is expected to fetch a premium price in the next auction. Meanwhile, his compatriot Sam Curran improved his profile tenfold at the ICC event in Australia, where he was awarded the player of the tournament. Curran, who previously played for the four-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), is expected to draw multiple bids at the auction. However, it is probable that the young trailblazing Australian all-rounder Cameron Green will start a bidding war at the auction on December 23 too.
