Top 3 players who can attract the highest bids in the IPL Auctions

For the first time in IPL’s history, Kochi will host the upcoming mini-auctions set to take place on December 23. The list of players that have been released and a total of 85 players were released ahead of the auctions and some of the big names include Joe Root, Mayank Agarwal, Kane Williamson, Sam Curran, Rilee Rossouw, Ben Stokes, will go under the hammer in the Indian Premier League‘s mini-auction. Here are the top three players who could attract a high bid in the upcoming auctions.

1. Cameron Green

Australia’s all rounder Cameron Green, who has been very impressive in the recent past could potentially earn big money due to his power hitting and all round abilities in the upcoming auction on the 23rd of December. The 23-year-old scored two quick fire fifties against India in October, forced the selectors to pick him for the ICC T20 World Cup. He can open the batting and bowl some handy medium pace which will be more than valuable for a lot of teams. The all rounder will potentially be one of the most expensive buys this season.

2. Mayank Agarwal

Former Punjab Kings captain Mayank Agarwal, whom the club retained in 2022 for 12 crores, was released ahead of the mini-auction due to his poor form. Agarwal has scored 300+ runs in three consecutive seasons from 2019-2021 but was poor in the previous season with 196 runs. Agarwal has been very impactful at the top, and many teams are looking for an opener, and an Indian player like Mayank’s could be just what they are searching for. Expect some fiery bidding for Mayank in the auction on the 23rd of December.

3. Sam Curran

England all rounder, Sam Curran, who was the player of the finals in the 2022 T20 World Cup, will be one of the most wanted player in the players pool. Curran, who played for CSK from 2020-2021, missed last year’s IPL due to rehabilitation and will be up for grabs in the auctions. The 24-year-old has been in some fantastic form in the last few months and will be valuable to any team with his all-round skills, Hence, there will be a lot of team bidding for him and could well be a the most expensive buy in the upcoming auction.
