5 players who will be in high demand in IPL 2023 auction

4. Rilee Rossouw

Rilee Rossouw has been a giant of a player in the T20 circuit. The 33-year-old is a ferocious striker of the cricket ball and has displayed his batting might in T20 tournaments around the world. He has featured in 269 games in the shortest format and has amassed a staggering tally of 6874 runs at a strike rate of 143.44.

The southpaw made a comeback to the international fold earlier this year after his Kolpak deal ended, and has destroyed top-quality attacks with his swashbuckling strokeplay. He has played 11 T20Is since his return and plundered 372 runs at a strike rate of 176.30.

In a rapidly evolving T20 format, playing an aggressive brand of cricket has become the need of the hour and Rossouw is someone who embodies that approach. He can take the attack to the opposition right from the get-go and change the course of the match in a matter of a few deliveries. Therefore, it should not be a surprise if many IPL franchises try to rope him into their squad.
