The IPL 2023 auction will take place in Kochi on December 23, with all the 10 franchises looking to put the finishing touches on their respective rosters.

While Sunrisers Hyderabad have the highest purse value remaining but have retained just 12 players, Kolkata Knight Riders have just 7.05 cr in their purse and have to fill in many slots. It will be interesting to see how all the teams plan for the auction.
