Live Updates | IPL 2023 auction live stream details, date, timing in IST, venue, remaining purse value, retained-released players list, latest updates
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 auction is set to take place in Kochi on December 23, Friday, with all 10 franchises of IPL set to fight it out among themselves for a total of 405 players set to go under the hammer.
Since the franchises have already retained many players, unlike the last IPL 2022 mega auction, this upcoming IPL 2023 auction won't be a two-day affair, rather it will start at around 12:30 perhaps and end at around 07:00 PM in the evening.
This time around, there is no Right to Match (RTM) card option in IPL 2023 auction, and every franchise can have a squad with a minimum of 18, and a maximum of 25 players.
While Sunrisers Hyderabad have a massive Rs 42.25 crore to spend in the IPL 2023 auction, and 17 slots to fill, Kolkata Knight Riders have a tough task with 14 slots remaining and they only have Rs 7.05 crore to spend.
According to the new rules, since each team can only have a strength upto 25 players, in total, only 87 players can be bought by franchises, which includes 30 slots for overseas players.
Also for the very first time, not a single Indian player features in the top bracket of players whose base price is set at INR 2 crore. England's T20 World Cup winning core group dominate the 2 crore base price slot, while there is no Indian player in the 1.5 crore slot either.
Some of the renowned Indian players who are set to go under the hammer are Mayank Agarwal, Ajinkya Rahane, Jaydev Unadkat and others.
Suresh Raina will also be a part of the IPL 2023 auction, however, he will part of the expert panel, along side fellow IPL legends Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and more.

Jiocinema shared a nice tribute for MS Dhoni ahead of the IPL 2023 auction. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper has been with the Yellow Army since the league's inception and will be seen leading out them in front of the Cheapuk crowd once again.

According to reports, Virat Kohli may not be seen opening for Royal Challengers Bangalore as he has done in recent years, because RCB are likely to target Mayank Agarwal who could open the innings.
England duo of Ben Stokes and Sam Curran are going to be in heavy demand, Curran was the highest wicket-taker in T20 World Cup 2022, while Stokes a proven performer in IPL, has been in sublime form. Surely, all the franchises will be looking to land the English pair.

Former Indian head coach Anil Kumble has stated that Mumbai Indians need to go for a 'marquee spinner'. While there are many alternatives in the Indian and overseas players, Sikander Raza is someone whom MI could look at.
Irfan Pathan has backed Sunrisers Hyderabad to go after Mayank Agarwal, who was released by Punjab Kings. "SRH will go after Mayank Agarwal because they need a kind of aggressive opener as well. Mayank Agarwal is the kind of guy who has led a side, who plays quite freely as well, very fearless, very selfless," said Pathan.
Robin Uthappa has also backed Kolkata Knight Riders to go for Jaydev Unadat. With all the travel that's going to take place, they will need a third pacer, and Unadkat does bring ample experience with him. Last year he was with Mumbai Indians, and he shone in the domestic circuit, getting a Team India call up after 12 years.
Uthappa has also backed the MS Dhoni-led franchise to go for someone like Manish Pandey who can add more steel to the team's middle order. "An Indian batter in the middle order and the ones that are available in this auction seem to be like Manish Pandey, he has done exceptionally well in the IPL and is also someone who is experienced and would really enjoy playing in the CSK culture," stated Uthappa.
Former CSK stalwart Robin Uthappa has stated that the four-time IPL champs may go big on Sam Curran, who has already played for the franchise in the past. "I think they will look for the likes of Sam Curran because he has already played for CSK in the past, he’s done well for them and has contributed to their success so they will definitely try and go for him," said Uthappa.
