The Indian Premier League (IPL) auction for the 2023 season is around the corner. The much-awaited event is slated to be held on December 23 in Kochi. All ten franchises have certain holes to fill and the marquee event will present a golden chance for them to upgrade themselves.&nbsp;

Previously at auction, franchises have not shied away from breaking the bank to sign players who are match-winners with the bat. For instance, fans witnessed a bidding war between teams at the 2022 mega auction to acquire the services of gun-batters such as <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ishan-kishan-comes-up-with-motivational-post-after-asia-cup-2022-snub/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ishan Kishan</a> and Shreyas Iyer. With many top-drawer batters featuring at the upcoming auction, teams are expected to leave no stone unturned in signing them.

Here are the batters who can attract big bids at IPL 2023 auction:

Samarth Vyas is one of the most exciting prospects in Saurashtra's cricketing circles. He has featured in 40 List-A matches and scored 1353 runs at a strike rate of 94.28. Talking about the shortest format, the 27-year-old has been simply outstanding scoring 649 runs in 28 games at a spectacular strike rate of 150.58.

In the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-appeal/syed-mushtaq-ali-trophy-2022-top-5-performances-in-group-stage-1810/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022</a>, Samarth was exceptional and smashed 314 runs in seven games at a stunning strike rate of 177.40. He was instrumental in Saurashtra reaching the knockout stages of the T20 tournament. The ace batter carried his top form into the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 and scored 431 runs in nine games at a strike rate of 108.83.

The Rajkot-born can take the attack to the opposition right from the get-go. Further, he offers versatility to the team as he can play both in the top order and middle order. Thus, many franchises can look to rope in Samarth in their arsenal for the upcoming season.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-stats-mania/vijay-hazare-trophy-2022-n-jagadeesan-becomes-first-player-to-smash-five-consecutive-centuries-in-list-a-cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Narayan Jagadeesan</a> has been a proven performer in the Indian domestic circuit. The wicketkeeper-batter has featured in 51 games in the shortest format and scored 1064 runs at a strike rate of 118.61. The 26-year-old has taken the Indian domestic circuit by storm with his exploits in the ongoing edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Jagadeesan has smashed an insane tally of 830 runs in mere eight games at a strike rate of 125.37. The Coimbatore-born struck five consecutive List-A centuries and became the first player in history to do so. His most magnificent knock came in the game against Arunachal Pradesh where he completely dismantled the opposition scoring 277 runs in just 141 deliveries.

The Tamil Nadu batter was not able to create an impact in the 16th edition of the lucrative T20 tournament and scored 40 runs in two games at a strike rate of 108.11. Hence, Chennai Super Kings decided to move past him. However, given the rich vein of form Jagdeesan is in, franchises could go all guns blazing to pick him at the upcoming auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/never-got-a-call-there-was-no-real-communication-manish-pandey-makes-shocking-revelation-after-his-lsg-ouster/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manish Pandey</a> has been a run-bank in the Indian Premier League.

He has shown his batting might in the international arena too and scored 709 runs in 39 T20Is at a strike rate of 126.15.&nbsp;

The Indian batter was roped in by Lucknow Super Giants for the 2022 season. However, Manish was not able to perform as per expectations and could only manage 88 runs in six games at a strike rate of 110. Following his poor outings, the Lucknow franchise decided against retaining the Nanital-born for the next season. Thus, the ace batter will feature at the IPL 2023 auction.

Manish is someone who can hold the innings together and play the anchor role to perfection. Also, the elegant batter is a very good player of both pace and spin. Moreover, he brings a wealth of experience with him and many franchises will be eager to pick him at the forthcoming auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/every-time-i-go-to-the-toilet-theres-somebody-following-me-harry-brook-on-security-in-pakistan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harry Brook</a> has been a prominent figure in the T20 circuit. The 23-year-old has featured in 99 games in the shortest format and amassed 2432 runs at a superb strike rate of 148.38.&nbsp; He has the ability to take any opposition apart with his swashbuckling stroke play and his batting prowess was on display during the T20 Blast 2022 where he piled up 436 runs in 13 matches at a stunning strike rate of 163.90.

The Yorkshire-born has been incredible in the international arena too and scored 372 runs in 20 T20Is at a strike rate of 137.77. Brook was at his best in the T20I series against Pakistan and scored 238 runs in seven games at a staggering strike rate of 163.01.

The England batter completely embodies fearless brand of cricket and can demolish even the top-drawer bowling attacks. Brook’s stocks in the shortest format have been on a steep rise and many IPL teams could target the flamboyant batter at the forthcoming auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/it-is-not-looking-great-moeen-ali-says-dawid-malan-likely-to-miss-semi-final-clash-against-india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dawid Malan</a> has been a vital cog in England's batting wheel in the shortest format. Slotting in at number three, the 35-year-old has been entrusted to shepherd the innings and he has done it with perfection. Also, he has the ability to swiftly switch gears and demolish any bowling attack with his swashbuckling stroke play.

The southpaw has played 55 T20Is and scored 1748 runs at a strike rate of 135.71. Malan has also shown his batting prowess in T20 leagues around the world. He has featured in a total of 290 T20 games and scored 7895 runs at a strike rate of 129.44.

The England batter was quite phenomenal at The Hundred 2022 which saw him smash 377 runs in nine games at an amazing strike rate of 166.81. His batting exploits were instrumental in Trent Rockets winning their maiden title.

Malan is a match-winner with the bat and many franchises could look to sign the Roehampton-born at the upcoming player auction.

Evin Lewis is a ferocious striker of the cricket ball and has the ability to demolish the best of bowling line-ups with his power-hitting might. The 30-year-old has featured in 209 T20 games and accumulated 5766 runs at an excellent strike rate of 144.07. He has also been sensational on the international stage and scored 1465 runs in 53 T20Is at a fabulous strike rate of 151.97.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/lucknow-super-giants-are-peaking-at-the-right-time-wasim-jaffer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lucknow Super Giants</a> picked Lewis at the 2022 mega auction to bolster their batting line-up. The West Indies batter played a blistering innings of 55 runs off 23 balls against Chennai Super Kings to take his side over the line.

However, barring one match-winning knock, the southpaw scored just 18 runs in five games. The ace batter did not fit into Lucknow’s plans going ahead and LSG released him ahead of the IPL 2023 auction.

Lewis is a game-changer with the bat and has put on an exhibition of his destructive stroke play in the cash-rich league on many occasions. The Trinidad-born could be a valuable addition to any IPL franchise and they could raise their paddle to pick him at the auction.

He got two chances where the Kiwi batter could only manage 33 runs at a strike rate of 75.00. The Rajasthan franchise was not inclined towards reinvesting in him for the next season and thus, released him from the squad.

The flamboyant batter has the experience of batting at most positions ranging from one to seven and thus offers flexibility to any batting line-up. Also, Mitchell has been in pristine touch this calendar year, having notched up 394 runs in 16 T20Is at a strike rate of 143.79. Moreover, he is more than handy with the ball.

Sunrisers Hyderabad picked the 27-year-old for INR 10.75 crore at the 2022 mega auction. Pooran had a good campaign for SRH and smashed 306 runs at a strike rate of 144.34. However, the Hyderabad franchise decided not to spend a whopping sum for the wicketkeeper-batter for another year and thus, released him ahead of the auction to free up a substantial amount.

Pooran is someone who can turn the game on its head in a matter of a few deliveries and has displayed his game-changing abilities in the lucrative T20 tournament. His inclusion adds firepower to a batting set-up and IPL franchises could go hammer and tongs to sign the Trinidad-born at the auction.

A poor season cannot overshadow how good Mayank has been in the cash-rich league and his numbers speak for themselves.

Franchises could go into a bidding war at the upcoming auction to sign the elegant batter.

The Coimbatore-born struck five consecutive List-A centuries and became the first player in history to do so.

The Tamil Nadu batter was not able to create an impact in the 16th edition of the lucrative T20 tournament and scored 40 runs in two games at a strike rate of 108.11. Hence, Chennai Super Kings decided to move past him. However, given the rich vein of form Jagdeesan is in, franchises could go all guns blazing to pick him at the upcoming auction.

The Indian batter was roped in by Lucknow Super Giants for the 2022 season. However, Manish was not able to perform as per expectations and could only manage 88 runs in six games at a strike rate of 110. Following his poor outings, the Lucknow franchise decided against retaining the Nanital-born for the next season. Thus, the ace batter will feature at the IPL 2023 auction.

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/featureimage/West-Indies-Evin-Lewis-1.jpg" width="640" height="400" alt="">
Evin Lewis is a ferocious striker of the cricket ball and has the ability to demolish the best of bowling line-ups with his power-hitting might. The 30-year-old has featured in 209 T20 games and accumulated 5766 runs at an excellent strike rate of 144.07.

The West Indies batter played a blistering innings of 55 runs off 23 balls against Chennai Super Kings to take his side over the line. 
However, barring one match-winning knock, the southpaw scored just 18 runs in five games. The ace batter did not fit into Lucknow’s plans going ahead and LSG released him ahead of the IPL 2023 auction.
Lewis is a game-changer with the bat and has put on an exhibition of his destructive stroke play in the cash-rich league on many occasions. The Trinidad-born could be a valuable addition to any IPL franchise and they could raise their paddle to pick him at the auction.

<h3>4. Daryl Mitchell</h3>
<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/featureimage/Daryl-Mitchell-New-Zealand.jpg" width="640" height="400" alt="">
<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/daryl-mitchell-is-unlikely-to-be-available-for-the-first-game-against-australia-gary-stead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daryl Mitchell</a> has been a consistent performer in the T20 circuit. He has featured in 149 games in the shortest format and scored 3149 runs at a strike rate of 132.70. He has been impressive for New Zealand as well and scored 786 runs in 41 T20Is at a strike rate of 139.11.
Rajasthan Royals drafted the 31-year-old for the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League. However, Mitchell did not find a place in the playing XI for the majority of the season. He got two chances where the Kiwi batter could only manage 33 runs at a strike rate of 75.00. The Rajasthan franchise was not inclined towards reinvesting in him for the next season and thus, released him from the squad.
The flamboyant batter has the experience of batting at most positions ranging from one to seven and thus offers flexibility to any batting line-up. Also, Mitchell has been in pristine touch this calendar year, having notched up 394 runs in 16 T20Is at a strike rate of 143.79. Moreover, he is more than handy with the ball.

Sunrisers Hyderabad picked the 27-year-old for INR 10.75 crore at the 2022 mega auction. Pooran had a good campaign for SRH and smashed 306 runs at a strike rate of 144.34. However, the Hyderabad franchise decided not to spend a whopping sum for the wicketkeeper-batter for another year and thus, released him ahead of the auction to free up a substantial amount.
Pooran is someone who can turn the game on its head in a matter of a few deliveries and has displayed his game-changing abilities in the lucrative T20 tournament. His inclusion adds firepower to a batting set-up and IPL franchises could go hammer and tongs to sign the Trinidad-born at the auction.

<h3>2. Kane Williamson</h3>
<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1667987218514_Kane-Williamson.jpeg" width="640" height="400" alt="">
<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/we-are-just-trying-to-bring-guys-into-side-and-give-them-clear-roles-kane-williamson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kane Williamson</a> has been a linchpin of New Zealand's batting line-up for over a decade and amassed a truckload of runs across formats. In T20Is, the 32-year-old provides stability to the batting line-up and has scored 2464 runs in 87 matches at a strike rate of 123.01.
The New Zealand skipper has also been astonishing in the IPL and scored 2101 runs in 76 games at a strike rate of 126.03. Williamson was retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad for the 2022 season at an insane sum of INR 14 crore. However, the veteran batter had a horror show with the bat as he could score merely 216 runs in 13 games at a poor strike rate of 93.51.&nbsp;
With the Tauranga-born failing to justify his price tag, the Hyderabad management decided to part ways with him. Williamson will now go under the hammer at the IPL 2023 auction.&nbsp;
The ace batter can play the anchor role beautifully and can also take bowling attacks apart. Thus, he could attract big bids at the auction. Moreover, he is an astute tactician of the game and displayed his shrewd leadership skills time and time again. Therefore, certain franchises seeking a leader can look to include the Kiwi cricketer in their team.

<h3>1. Mayank Agarwal</h3>
<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/featureimage/CT_354680.jpg" width="640" height="400" alt="">
<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-mayank-agarwal-appointed-as-punjab-kings-captain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayank Agarwal</a> has been a run machine in the Indian domestic circuit and aggregated 5854 runs in 81 first-class matches. The 31-year-old has been a prolific run-getter in the IPL arena too and scored 2327 runs in 113 games at a strike rate of 134.28.&nbsp;
Punjab Kings retained Mayank for INR 12 crore for the 15th edition of the lucrative T20 tournament. However, the Indian batter was nowhere close to his best and could only score 196 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 122.50. Following his mediocre season, the Punjab franchise released him ahead of the IPL 2023 auction.
A poor season cannot overshadow how good Mayank has been in the cash-rich league and his numbers speak for themselves. He can put the opposition under the pump with his stroke play and can also steady the ship when the team is in trouble. Franchises could go into a bidding war at the upcoming auction to sign the elegant batter.
