IPL 2023: 5 franchises that might pick Mayank Agarwal at auction
Mayank Agarwal is one of the most elegant batters in the Indian cricketing circles and could attract huge bids at the upcoming auction (If Punjab release him).
4. Chennai Super Kings
Robin Uthappa was an integral part of the batting set-up of the Chennai Super Kings in the 2022 edition. He took the attack to the opposition right from the get-go and provided the much-needed impetus to the innings. In the last season, he scored 230 runs in 12 games at a strike rate of 134.50.
Uthappa's retirement from all forms of Indian cricket earlier this year has left a big hole in CSK’s top order. The four-time IPL champions would need a solid Indian batter to fill that void and Mayank could be the right fit for the role.
The Bangalore-born being an outstanding player of spin can easily milk runs at the M.A. Chidambram Stadium. Though the 31-year-old generally opens the innings, he has the versatility to slot in at number three too.
Thus, when both Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway are available, Mayank could be pushed down the order. Therefore, it won't be a surprise if CSK are seen chasing Mayank at the auction.
