IPL 2023: Rating Teams based on their auction performance
Sam Curran was the costliest buy in the auction as Punjab Kings signed him for INR 18.50 crore.
4. Mumbai Indians - 8/10
Despite having a low budget, Mumbai Indians made the most out of their auction. The franchise signed the Aussie sensation Cameron Green and also picked up players like Jhye Richardson, Piyush Chawla and Shams Mulani.
When it comes to their playing XI, the side looks as dangerous as any other and interestingly, they have got their hands on Chawla, who can be an impactful player for the upcoming season. Richardson can also be a great backup for Jofra Archer and thus, it can be said with absolute clarity that Mumbai has done well in the mini-auction.
Their concern, however, will be the lack of Indian batters in the lower middle order. In case either of Suryakumar Yadav or Tilak Verma rules out, Mumbai can be under a lot of pressure as well. The Rohit Sharma-led side didn’t address the situation and that’s the only concern they will have in the 16th edition of the cash-rich league.
