IPL 2023: IPL 2023 Auction – With just over a month left for the IPL mini-auction, all franchises must be planning on the players they have to target in the auction. However, there are a few released players who might not find a new team and there is a risk of them going unsold. The likes of Chris Jordan, Ajinkya Rahane, and Varun Aaron among others are the prime contenders for the list. Let’s talk about five such players. Follow IPL 2023 Live Updates with InsideSport.IN.
IPL 2023: From Chris Jordan to Ajinkya Rahane 5 Players Who Might go UNSOLD in Auction: CHECK OUT
1. Chris Jordan
Chris Jordan has been a part of several IPL franchises in the past. The speedster was picked up by CSK for IPL 2022 majorly to bowl at the death overs. However, Jordan failed to live up to the expectations of the Yellow Army and was released from squad. Speaking about his performance in IPL 2022, the right-arm seamer played four games and managed to scalp just two wickets. He also bowled at a poor economy of 10.52.
2. Ajinkya Rahane
Senior batter Ajinkya Rahane is one of the most seasoned IPL players. The right-handed batter was picked up by KKR in the last auction. The two-time IPL champions gave Rahane the opening slot to give some quick starts, especially during the powerplay. However, Rahane failed to deliver for the Men in Purple and Gold. He stroked 133 runs in seven games and played at a strike rate of 103.91.
3. Jason Roy
Defending champions Gujarat Titans released England’s opening batter Jason Roy ahead of IPL 2023 Auction. To note, Roy was bagged by GT at a cost of INR 2 crore, but he did not participate in the last concluded edition due to personal reasons. Recently, Roy has been struggling to score runs as well. He has managed to score just six runs in two games against Australia. The 32-year-old was also dropped from England’s T20I squad due to his poor run in the shortest format of the game.
4. Tymal Mills
Tymal Mills was roped by the five-time champions Mumbai Indians as a replacement for injured Jofra Archer. However, the left-arm pacer could not perform at his best and was released from the Paltan family. With so many local left-arm pacers available in the auction, it is highly likely that franchises will be interested to invest on the English pacer.
5. Varun Aaron
Varun Aaron grabbed the limelight during IPL 2014 when he scalped 16 wickets in 10 games for RCB at an economy of 8.15. However, the express pacer has failed to replicate his performances since then. In IPL 2022, he took two wickets in as many games, but conceded runs at an economy of 10.40 and was dropped from the GT side. Aaron is likely not to find any buyers during the mini-auction due to his inconsistent performances in the toughest franchise-based league.
