IPL 2023: 5 released openers who can earn big bucks in the mini auction
The IPL Auction 2023 is set to be held in Kochi on December 23.
5. Hari Nishaanth
Hari Nishaanth is one of the promising youngsters who came into the IPL ranks through his phenomenal run for Tamil Nadu in domestic cricket. Nishaanth was picked up by the Chennai Super Kings in the mega auction last year for his base price of INR 20 Lakhs but did not get a single game for his franchise.
Given that Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway have sealed their opening position, it was nearly impossible for Hari Nishaanth to make the playing XI. The left-hander is yet to make his debut in the cash rich tournament but now having been released, might find a buyer for big money. He is quite elegant with his stroke play and has a strike rate of 121.86 in T20s so far which will be useful while opening.
Hari Nishaanth recently captained the Dindigul Dragons in the Tamil Nadu premier league this year and the franchises will look into his immense growth in the last few years. He has a lot to offer and might be one of the youngsters to watch out for if a franchise wants to unearth his talent in the biggest of stages.
