IPL auction 2023: 5 uncapped Indian players who could be steal deals

Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 auction is only a few days away and the elation among fans is recognising no limits as they are eager to know what will be the combination of their favourite IPL team ahead of the 2023 edition. Recently, a couple of Indian domestic cricket events concluded and viewers witnessed some jaw-dropping performances from some of the Indian uncapped players. With their sublime performances in recent events, these players have been hitting headlines quite frequently and now it will be interesting to see how these players will fare in the most-anticipated event on December 23 in Kochi. Considering the impressive outings of some of these players, the franchises will be eager to grab them at the upcoming auction by spending huge sums. Let's check out some uncapped Indian players who might turn out to be steal deals at the forthcoming auction: 5. Shivam Mavi Shivam Mavi has played four seasons of the Indian Premier League since 2018. In all the four editions he represented Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). However, his average outings with the ball in the last IPL edition led to his release from the KKR camp. This month, he will go under the hammer once again as he has listed his name for the mini-auction. Earlier, this year, he delivered his worst performance in the IPL as he picked up only five wickets in six games at an economy rate of 10.32. But he seems to be getting back to rhythm. Recently, he showed an impactful display for Uttar Pradesh in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23. Bagging ten wickets in seven games at a scintillating economy rate of 6.64 in the T20 tournament, he garnered plenty of attention. Following his fine performance in the T20 event, he also did well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022-23 and picked up 14 wickets in seven matches at an economy rate of 4.15. At the auction, his base price will be INR 40 lakhs, and based on his current form and recent bowling displays after the 2022 IPL season, he could be a nice pick for any franchise at the forthcoming mini-auction. 4. Vidwath Kaverappa Vidwath Kaverappa will look forward to getting his first IPL contract at the forthcoming auction. In this year's domestic tournaments, he has done wonders for Karnataka, notching up 18 wickets in eight games of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23, at a dashing economy rate of 6.36. With his phenomenal performance in the tournament, he also became the second-highest wicket-taker behind Siddarth Kaul. The 23-year-old carried the momentum in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022-23 as he amassed 17 wickets in eight matches at a spectacular economy rate of 3.53. The Karnataka seamer has registered himself for the mini-auction at a base price of INR 20 lakhs and by virtue of his impressive bowling displays in back-to-back tournaments, he could start a bidding war among the franchises at the auction. 3. Shams Mulani Shams Mulani has been in top form this year with his lethal bowling. The 25-year-old is playing first-class cricket since November 2018, but this year, he drew attention with his brilliant bowling performances in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) and Vijay Hazare Trophy. Playing in the SMAT, the left-arm off-spinner was the fourth-highest wicket-taker of the competition with 16 wickets in 10 matches at an economy rate of 6.51. In the Vijay Hazare Trophy too, he looked aggressive with the ball and grabbed seven wickets in seven games at a superb economy rate of 4.64. Earlier this year, he also scalped 45 wickets in six matches and became the highest wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy competition 2021-22. His base price for the upcoming auction is INR 20 lakhs, but due to his all-round skills and his current top-notch form, the franchises might not hesitate to invest good money in him. 2. Samarth Vyas Saurashtra batter Samarth Vyas has looked in amazing touch with the bat this year. Racking up 314 runs in seven matches at a stellar strike rate of 177.40, he became the fifth-highest run-scorer of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23. Taking the confidence of the T20 tournament ahead, he played some incredible knocks in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022-23 and became the leading run-scorer for Saurashtra with 443 runs in ten games at a scintillating average of 44.30. Displaying his sensational form, Vyas smashed 200 runs off 131 deliveries against Manipur. By virtue of the innings, he became one of the very few batters to notch up a double-ton in the history of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. After having some fine outings with the bat in both tournaments, he is being touted as one of the leading uncapped Indian players to receive a massive amount at the upcoming auction. The franchises will keep his fearless batting style and brilliant batting figures in their minds and strive to rope him into their team for the next IPL edition. Currently, Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings, and Sunrisers Hyderabad are lacking openers and hence they are likely to target Vyas. 1. Narayan Jagadeesan This year, after witnessing Naryana Jagadeesan’s flop show with the bat, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) released him on November 15, 2022. However, six days later, he wreaked havoc on Arunachal Pradesh bowlers with his potent innings of 277 runs off 141 deliveries in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022-23. Playing this emphatic knock, he broke the world record for the highest-ever individual score in men’s List A cricket. The right-handed batter also finished as the leading run-scorer in the tournament with 830 runs in eight games, at a humongous average of 138.33, with five centuries. After delivering enormous knocks with his bat in the important tournament, the Tamil Nadu opener might become one of the most sought-after figures at the upcoming auction. On the day of the auction, eyes will be set on his name as his influential Vijay Hazare Trophy innings could entice the franchises to include him in their teams for the next IPL edition.
