<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a> will return in 2023 with its 16th installment to deliver excitement and thrill to its fans. However, before that, the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/tag/ipl-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mini-auction</a> will be conducted on December 23, 2022, in Kochi in which numerous players will take part.

The auction will be crucial for both franchises and the players who will go under the hammer. Some renowned players such as Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, and Cameron Green are expected to attract big amounts.

Among Indian names, uncapped players like Narayan Jagadeesan, and Vidwath Kaverappa among others might start a bidding war among the franchises owing to their spectacular displays in the 2022-23 domestic season.

On the contrary, there are some Indian veterans who could be snubbed by the franchises due to their inefficiency in the last few seasons of the cash-rich league. These names were once match-winning players for the Indian team but in the last few years, their performances have been below par in both international cricket and in the domestic circuit.

Following that innings, the Indian cricket fans expected him to become the next big thing in Indian cricket across formats. However, the right-handed batter couldn’t do justice to all those expectations.

The same thing happened in the IPL too as his form declined and he failed to produce quality knocks for the franchises he played for. In the upcoming auction, he has also registered his name at a base price of INR 50 lakhs. However, going through his past displays in the last five seasons, there are chances of him getting ignored by the franchises.

Talking about his overall performance in the league, the 31-year-old cricketer has disappointed with the bat racking up only 1,496 runs in 76 games at an underwhelming strike rate of 127.75. With these dismal numbers, the right-handed may not get a buyer at the upcoming auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/search/?q=Amit+Mishra" title="Amit Mishra" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amit Mishra</a> will be one of the oldest players to go under the hammer at the forthcoming auction and has kept his base price - INR 50 lakhs. The 40-year-old has a history of representing India across all three formats. Apart from that, he is also the fourth-highest wicket-taker in IPL history with 166 scalps in 154 matches at an impressive economy rate of 7.35.

The Indian leggie has also clinched three hat-tricks in the league. However, these attractive bowling statistics couldn’t get him a buyer at the IPL 2022 mega auction. At the 2023 mini-auction, the same could happen as the franchises might consider younger options over him.

He has wealth of experience when it comes to playing in the t20 circuit but the age factor might just rule him out of the contention this time around too.

In the 15th edition of the cash-rich league, Rahane got picked up by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at his base price of INR 1 crore at the mega auction. But the veteran couldn’t justify that as he aggregated only 133 runs in seven games at an extremely ordinary strike rate of 103.91.

Last month, he featured on the release list of KKR due to which he is now going to take part at the 2023 mini-auction at a base price of INR 50 lakhs to play in the 16th edition of the league. However, looking at his recent outings in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23 also, it's unlikely that he might find a buyer.

Before his lean patch, Rahane was one of the most proficient players in the league due to his incredible show with the bat. Till 2019, he was really good as a batter, but since the 2020 season, his batting hasn’t been up to the mark.&nbsp;
