IPL Auction 2023: Who were the uncapped players with the highest prices?

IPL Auction 2023: The IPL 2023 Auction was exhilarating and packed with surprises. Kane Williamson was sold to Gujarat Titans for his base price of INR 2 crore to kick off the proceedings. The fact that none of the other nine teams put up a fight surprised them. But the events that followed were quite spectacular.

Harry Brook from England attracted a lot of attention after being acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad for INR 13.25 crore. The focus then turned to Mayank Agarwal, who had just signed a contract with SRH worth INR 8.25 crore. As all-rounder Sam Curran was purchased by Punjab Kings for a record-breaking INR 18.50 crore, making him the most expensive player in IPL history, English players dominated the auctions.

The day’s highlights undoubtedly included Australian all-rounder Cameron Green’s sale to the five-time champion Mumbai Indians for INR 17.50 crore and Ben Stokes’ INR 16.25 crore contract with the four-time champion Chennai Super Kings. Uncapped players receiving a lot of money for the forthcoming 16th edition of the event, however, was the shocking aspect.

Gujarat Titans signed Shivam Mavi for the IPL 2023 after he played for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2022. The reigning champions outbid CSK, KKR, and Rajasthan Royals in a bidding battle, and they paid INR 6 crore for Mavi, who had a base price of INR 40 lakh.

Bengal’s Mukesh Kumar, who just received his first India call-up but was unable to make his debut, was signed by Delhi Capitals for an amazing INR 5.5 crore. DC prevailed in the bidding conflict against CSK and PBKS after registering at a base price of INR 20 lakh.

In the race, SRH passed KKR and hired the youthful Vivrant Sharma for INR 2.6 crore. He recently appeared at the Vijay Hazare Trophy as a representative of Jammu & Kashmir, where he had a great performance. He rose to the third-most-popular selection among uncapped players.

In 2018, Mayank Dagar made waves after he outperformed Mayank Agarwal and Virat Kohli in the yo-yo test. The Himachal cricketer was signed by SRH for INR 1.8 crore for the 2019 IPL, giving them another all-rounder for their lineup.

Gujarat Titans agreed to pay Andhra Pradesh’s wicketkeeper-batter KS Bharath INR 1.2 crore, giving the defending champions a third option for wicketkeeper-batters in their lineup. Bharath has played for India in the Test format but has not yet made his white-ball debut.
