10 bowlers who can attract big bids at IPL 2023 auction

9. Chintan Gaja

Chintan Gaja has been a consistent performer in the domestic circuit across formats. The 28-year-old has featured in 34 first-class games and bagged 122 wickets at an average of 22.68. When it comes to the shortest format, he has picked 35 scalps in 29 games at an economy of 6.73.

Gaja can make the ball talk at the start of the innings and has dismantled batting line-ups with the swing he generates. In SMAT 2022, he was quite impressive and bagged nine wickets in five games at an economy of 8.05.

The Gujarat pacer recently wreaked havoc in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 and bagged 15 wickets in mere seven games at an economy of 4.31.

Picking up early wickets is key to the success of a team and Gaja has been phenomenal in striking with the new ball. He could be a valuable addition to any franchise and one could see many teams raise their paddles to pick the Ahmedabad-born at the forthcoming auction.
