The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has booked two floors of the Grand Hyatt hotel where all the management and staff of every franchise are staying.
While a total of 991 players registered themselves for the auction, a shortlisted 405 players will go under the hammer, but there are only 87 slots remaining with all 10 franchises combined, including 30 slots for overseas players.

Former CSK stalwart Robin Uthappa in a recent video shared by JioCinema said that Jimmy Neesham might go unsold in IPL 2023 auction. He was joined by Suresh Raina and they felt that Ishant Sharma, and Kane Williamson might go unsold in first round and will get picked up in the second round.
Two modern legends of the sport, Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard won't be playing in IPL 2023, instead, they have taken up coaching roles with their respective franchises. Thus, both Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will be looking for replacements to the West Indies duo.
