IPL 2023: 3 uncapped Indians who triggered bidding war in auction
Certain uncapped Indian players fetched big bucks at the IPL 2023 auction.
1. Shivam Mavi
Shivam Mavi has been a proven performer in the Indian domestic circuit. He has featured in 36 List-A matches and bagged 59 wickets at an economy of 4.85. The 24-year-old has done a decent job in the Indian Premier League, taking 30 wickets in 32 games at an economy of 8.71.
However, the ace pacer had a miserable campaign in the 15th IPL edition as he featured in six matches for KKR and picked only five scalps at an alarming rate of 10.32. Following Mavi's awful season, the Kolkata franchise decided against retaining him.
Though the Noida-born was nowhere close to his best in the previous season, he has shown glimpses of brilliance in the cash-rich league in the past. Also, Mavi showed his bowling might in the recently concluded Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022, taking 14 wickets in seven games at an economy of 4.15.
Therefore, when the Uttar Pardesh pacer entered the IPL 2023 auction, Gujarat Titans left no stone unturned to grab him and signed himi for a hefty sum of INR 6 crore.
