The IPL 2023 auction is all set to take place on December 23 in Kochi. Most of the franchises will head into the marquee event in a bid to fill holes in the squad whereas teams such as <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/srh-sunrisers-hyderabad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunrisers Hyderabad</a> and Kolkata Knight Riders, having released most of their players, will try to restructure their entire unit.

The upcoming player auction will feature some top-drawer cricketers such as Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, and Cameron Green and franchises might go to a bidding war to pick them. However, there are certain players who fetched big bucks in the last season and their stocks in the T20 circuit have dipped since then. So, the IPL teams might be reluctant to spend their money on these T20 stars.

Here are the five players who will fetch less than the 2022 season:

Kolkata Knight Riders signed <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rr-vs-kkr-pat-cummins-and-shivam-mavi-team-up-to-take-an-outstanding-relay-catch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shivam Mavi</a> for the 2022 season of the cash-rich league. The 23-year-old was impressive for the Kolkata franchise in the last two seasons taking a total of 20 wickets in 17 matches and the team management would have expected big things from him in the 15th edition of the tournament.

However, Mavi failed to deliver the goods with the ball and could manage only five wickets in six games, conceding runs at an alarming rate of 10.32. Following the Uttar Pradesh pacer’s poor outings, KKR parted ways with him ahead of the IPL 2023 auction.

Kolkata spent a whopping INR 7.25 crore to sign Mavi at the last mega auction but given the right-arm seamer failed miserably, it does not appear that franchises will go all guns blazing to sign him at the forthcoming auction.&nbsp;

4. Romario Shepherd&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/who-is-romario-shepherd-all-you-need-to-know-about-srhs-7-75-crore-recruit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Romario Shepherd</a> has been a proven performer in the T20 circuit. He has bagged 79 wickets in 67 matches at an economy of 9.04 and scored 533 runs at a strike rate of 141.00. Sunrisers Hyderabad looked at Romario to fill the all-round void in the team and thus, signed him at the IPL 2022 auction.

However, the 28-year-old was not able to repay the faith and had a pretty mediocre campaign in the 15th edition of the lucrative T20 tournament. Though Romario fared well with the bat smashing 58 runs in three games at a strike rate of 141.46, he had a dismal showing on the bowling front leaking runs at an economy of 10.89. SRH signed the Guyana-born at a whopping sum of INR 7.75 crore and as the right-arm pacer failed to justify the price tag, the Hyderabad franchise released him from the squad.

The West Indies all-rounder has been quite erratic with his lines and lengths in the shortest format and this is evident from his high economy rate. Talking about the T20Is, he has leaked runs at an economy rate of 10.51. Given Romario has been plagued by inconsistency time and again, many franchises might not raise their paddles to pick him at the IPL 2023 auction. Thus, the ace all-rounder is expected to go for price lower than the previous season.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/he-is-backing-me-a-100-percent-odean-smith-heaps-praises-on-pbks-skipper-mayank-agarwal-after-match-winning-performance-against-mi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Odean Smith</a> was sensational in the 2021 season of the Caribbean Premier League and showed his all-round might on numerous occasions. He bagged 18 wickets in 11 matches at an economy of 7.54 and smashed 126 runs at a strike rate of 132.63. Punjab Kings signed the West Indies all-rounder at the 2022 mega auction to add depth to the side.

However, he was not able to perform as per expectations. Though he took six wickets in as many games, the Jamaica-born conceded runs at an alarming rate of 11.87. On the batting front, he could only manage 51 runs at a strike rate of 115.91. Due to the ace all-rounder's awful performances, PBKS decided against retaining him for the next season.

Smith will now go under the hammer at the upcoming auction. The right-arm pacer went for INR 6 crore at the 2022 mega auction but as the 26-year-old faltered with both bat and ball in the previous edition, many franchises might not be eager to sign him.

2. Nicholas Pooran&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/nicholas-pooran-steps-down-as-west-indies-t20i-and-odi-skipper/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicholas Pooran</a> is a ferocious striker of the cricket ball and has the ability to tear bowling line-ups apart with his swashbuckling stroke play. The 27-year-old has featured in 256 T20 matches and amassed 4942 runs at a strike rate of 141.15. Sunrisers Hyderabad picked Pooran at the IPL 2022 auction to bolster their batting line-up.

Pooran played some blistering knocks for the Hyderabad franchise and amassed 306 runs in 14 games at a strike rate of 144.34. However, SRH, who invested a staggering sum of INR 10.75 crore to acquire the wicketkeeper-batter’s services, were not inclined towards paying a hefty amount to retain him for the 16th IPL edition and decided to let go of the southpaw ahead of the upcoming auction.

The flamboyant batter has been far from his best in the T20 arena of late. In Caribbean Premier League 2022, Pooran managed to score just 108 runs in 10 games at a strike rate of 117.39. His horror show with the bat continued in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2022, where he scored only 25 runs in three games at a strike rate of 86.20. Thus, given the former West Indies skipper has not been able to deliver in T20 tournaments of late, franchises might not go hammer and tongs to sign him at the forthcoming auction.

However, Pooran showed his batting might in Abu Dhabi T10 League, scoring 345 runs in 10 games at a strike rate of 234.69. But given it was not a high-pressure environment and there was not much at stake, one cannot conclude that he has returned to form. Therefore, the wicketkeeper-batter is likely to fetch a price lower than last year.

1. Kane Williamson&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/we-are-just-trying-to-bring-guys-into-side-and-give-them-clear-roles-kane-williamson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kane Williamson</a> has been a run-bank in the Indian Premier League. The veteran batter has featured in 76 matches and amassed 2101 runs at a strike rate of 126.03. Sunrisers Hyderabad retained the Kiwi batter for the 2022 season and appointed him as the leader of the pack.

However, the 32-year-old was a pale shadow of his classic self and could score only 216 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 93.51. Moreover, Williamson failed to guide his side to the playoffs and SRH ended the league stage in the eighth position with just six wins in 14 games. The Hyderabad franchise spent a staggering INR 14 crore him and would have expected more from him. So, the team management decided to move past the veteran batter and released him ahead of this year's auction.

Since the New Zealand skipper failed to make a mark with his performances in the 15th IPL edition, many franchises might not be interested in signing him at the upcoming auction. Also, Williamson has not been at his best of touches in the international arena this calendar year. Though the New Zealand captain has notched up 443 runs in 13 T20Is, he has scored them at a strike rate of 118.76, which is not at par with the demands the modern-day T20 cricket. Thus, the Kiwi batter is expected to be picked at a significantly lower price compared to the last season.

The IPL 2023 auction is all set to take place on December 23 in Kochi. Most of the franchises will head into the marquee event in a bid to fill holes in the squad whereas teams such as <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/srh-sunrisers-hyderabad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunrisers Hyderabad</a> and Kolkata Knight Riders, having released most of their players, will try to restructure their entire unit.

IPL 2023: 5 players who may fetch fewer bucks than 2022

There are certain players who fetched big bucks in IPL 2022 but their stocks in the T20 circuit have dipped since then

Here we look at the five players who may fetch fewer bucks than IPL 2022.
