IPL Auction 2023 Date
IPL Auction 2023 Venue, Date, Time, Live streaming: The 2023-IPL auction is to commence on 23rd December in Kochi, and the IPL franchises have tightened their belt to bid on the best players. The event is scheduled to kick in at 11 am IST.
Though the auction is going to be a mini one, most of the players have been, yet about 650 players can mark their presence for the bidding session. Until now, the auction has seen the registration of a total of 991 players! However, only 87 maximum slots remain for selection during the auction.
The auction is to witness the participation of all ten teams, with a salary cap of total Rs. 95 crores. However, all the teams have used some amount from their salary cap given that they have retained some of their key players. Going by the above equation, it seems that SRH’s salary cap is more than any other existing team in the IPL, i.e., Rs. 42.25 crores, on the other hand, the salary cap of KKR seems to be the lowest, i.e., Rs. 7.05 crores. A total of 163 players have been retained altogether by the teams and they seek to fill the remaining 87 slots during the auction.
