5 Under-19 players who could fetch huge bids in the IPL mini auction
IPL 2023 auction is scheduled to be held on December 23 in Kochi
1. Aneeshwar Gautam
Aneeshwar Gautam is an exciting prospect in the Karnataka cricketing circles. The left-arm spinner is a wily customer with the ball and can bamboozle batters with his variations. Also, he is more than handy with the bat and can provide vital contributions lower down the order.
Gautam was part of India’s squad that won the Under-19 World Cup in 2022. He played two matches at the tournament and bagged two scalps at an economy of 2.75. Royal Challengers Bangalore liked what they saw in the youngster and signed him at the 2022 mega auction.
However, the Bengaluru-born could not get any opportunities in the 15th IPL edition. It seemed Gautam was not able to fit into the team’s plans as RCB decided to part ways with him ahead of the IPL 2023 player auction. The 19-year-old will again go under the hammer at the upcoming auction and teams seeking a spin-bowling all-rounder might try to include him in their arsenal.
