“Definitely, both Punjab Kings as well as SRH, they’re going to show their masses at the auction because look, one thing for sure that when we don’t have a settled unit when you don’t have a proper playing eleven which Punjab and SRH don’t have.
That means they have a big bank balance and that means they need to be very smart, they need to be aggressive as well in these auctions because they have the muscle power and I think Adam Zampa, they will go after him from the word go.
“SRH will go after Mayank Agarwal because they need a kind of abrasive opener as well. They don’t have Kane Williamson right now who led them for many years as an experienced player and who used to open the innings as well.
Mayank Agarwal is the kind of guy who has led a side, who plays quite freely as well, is very fearless, and very selfless. They might be thinking of him going forward as a leader as well. So let’s see what’s going to happen, but definitely, they are going to look for that kind of introduction in that auction.”
The IPL 2023 Auction will begin at 2:30 PM IST at Kochi. BCCI has pruned the auction register of the IPL to 405 from 991 but only the first 86 players will certainly be called for auction. The rest will be part of the accelerated process that will commence from player No 87.
Mumbai Indians and CSK named their former players in their coaching unit. Mumbai Indians named Pollard as their new batting coach while CSK named Dwayne Bravo as their bowling coach replacing L Balaji who has opted for a break due to personal reasons.
