Over the years, the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/tag/ipl-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL auction</a> has emerged as one of the most celebrated events in India's cricketing calendar, and fans' fondness for the same continues to rise. The 16th edition of the player auction is slated to be held on December 23 in Kochi. It will present an excellent opportunity for the franchises to rope in top-quality personnel and upgrade themselves.

The player auction will witness 405 players go under the hammer, of which 273 are Indians and 132 are overseas players. Among the Indian T20 stars featuring at the marquee event, there are certain cricketers who have been playing some exceptional cricket of late and have made a very strong case for themselves to earn an IPL contract.

Here are five in-form Indian players who deserve to get picked at the auction:

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-appeal/ipl-2023-5-smat-stars-who-could-bag-big-deals-in-mini-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Samarth Vyas</a> has been a consistent performer in the Indian domestic circuit. He has featured in 28 games in the shortest format and amassed 649 runs at a remarkable strike rate of 150.58 The 27-year-old has taken the attack to the opposition right from the get-go and dismantled bowling attacks with his stroke play.

The Saurashtra batter was quite phenomenal during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2022 and smashed 314 runs in seven games at a dazzling strike rate of 177.40. He carried his rich vein of form into the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 and aggregated 443 runs in ten matches at a strike rate of 106.74.

The Rajkot-born plays a fearless style of cricket which has become the need of the hour in the T20 circuit. Besides his hitting prowess, Samarth has shown his ability to shepherd the innings, which makes him an asset for any team. Therefore, there are high chances of the ace batter getting his first IPL gig.

Rohan Kunnummal is one of the exciting prospects in Kerala's cricketing circles. He has been simply spectacular in first-class cricket and notched up 825 runs in seven games at an average of 82.50.

Talking about the shortest format, the Palakkad-born has scored 531 runs in 19 matches at a strike rate of 119.32. He has been entrusted to provide brisk starts and has done decently well.

The Kerala opener has been prolific with the bat of late. In the recently concluded <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/domestic-cricket/vijay-hazare-trophy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022</a>, he accumulated 414 runs in seven games at an impressive strike rate of 131.84. Rohan fared well in the SMAT 2022 too and scored 201 runs in eight games for Kerala at a strike rate of 134.00.

Rohan has shown a lot of promise in the domestic arena and has the potential to make it big in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League</a>. Therefore, it will be quite a surprise if none of the franchises raise their paddles to sign the youngster at the IPL 2023 auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-appeal/10-bowlers-who-can-attract-big-bids-at-ipl-2023-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vidhwath Kaverappa</a> has taken the domestic circuit by storm with his astonishing performances. In the 2022 season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he was a strike force with the new ball and was also impeccable at the fag end of the innings. The Karnataka pacer finished the tournament with 18 wickets in eight games that too at a fantastic economy of 6.36.&nbsp;

The 23-year-old also showed his bowling might in the recently culminated Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022. He wreaked havoc with the ball and bagged 17 wickets at an economy of 3.63, which includes a terrific four-wicket haul in the encounter against Punjab.

Kaverappa has the ability to bowl at any phase of the game which can make him a valuable addition to any side. And given his stocks in the domestic arena have been on a meteoric rise of late, the youngster could be on the wishlist of many franchises at the IPL 2023 auction. Hence, the ace pacer's first IPL contract is definitely on the cards.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-appeal/ipl-2023-5-teams-that-can-target-narayan-jagadeesan-in-auction-9066/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Narayan Jagadeesan</a> has been a proven performer in the Indian domestic circuit. The Coimbatore-born has featured in 44 List-A matches and notched up 2090 runs at an average of 49.76. When it comes to the shortest format, he has scored 1064 runs in 51 games at a strike rate of 118.61.

Jagadeesan set the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 ablaze with his jaw-dropping performances. The 26-year-old knocked the winds out of the bowling attacks that came his way and became the first batter in history to score five consecutive List-A centuries. He hammered 830 runs in eight games at a strike rate of 125.37.

Though Jagadeesan has not stamped his authority in the IPL arena yet and scored only 73 runs in seven games, he is in the form of his life and can make the upcoming edition of the lucrative T20 tournament his own. Further, he has the ability to bat in the top order and also in the middle order. With the in-form batter offering such versatility, IPL franchises are expected to go all guns blazing to sign him at the auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/this-ones-for-all-those-who-have-kept-believing-supporting-me-jaydev-unadkat-shares-emotional-post-after-test-selection-for-bangladesh-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jaydev Unadkat</a> has been a prominent figure in the domestic arena and been carrying the mantle of Saurashtra’s bowling attack for over a decade now. The 31-year-old has featured in 96 first-class games and picked up 353 wickets at an average of 23.04. Also, he has bagged 168 scalps in 116 List-A matches at an economy of 4.76.

Unadkat ignited the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 with his stunning performances. He was the leading wicket-taker of the competition with 19 wickets to his name in ten matches at an economy of 3.33. His bowling exploits were instrumental in Saurashtra’s title triumph. Courtesy of the left-arm pacer’s stellar displays, he made a comeback to India’s Test set-up.

The Porbandar-born has also proven his mettle in the cash-rich league time and time again. He has featured in 91 games and bagged as many wickets at an economy of 8.79. Unadkat brings a wealth of experience and given the ace pacer has found his mojo back, many franchises must be eager to add him to their arsenal.
