Nicholas Pooran, the captain of the Caribbean Kings, will be in demand during the IPL 2023 Auction. He went for a whopping 11 Crores last time around. He will take home at least 5 Crore this time around as well. Middle-order batters are a product that is always required and Nicholas is one such experienced player.
He has played freelance cricket all-over the globe. His experience improves his portfolio. Pooran can be a finisher and can hold the innings together as well. His record in India is good too.
Kane Williamson will be a part of the IPL 2023 Auction:
Kane Williamson, is a technically sound player. Times may come and go but a technical player will always stay in trend. There is a lot of criticism around his strike rate and how slow he is in the T20 sport. But at times these players are required too. These players come in handy when the par score on a pitch is 130 or 140. In such situations, technical game is required. Kane is also a good leader. He can be easily chosen as a part of the leadership group.
Kane will not take a lot of money but will be a value for money. He will justify the amount he takes. He can either be used as an opener or as a number 3. Below that you cannot make use of him. He can bat alongside Butler or Ishan Kishan or any other explosive opener.
Daniel Sams:
Daniel Sams and his IPL career was tarnished a bit by the 35 run over against Pat Cummins. But in the far end of the season his performances had drastically improved. It is curious to see that the Mumbai Indians did not let go off any of their batters. The batters were the ones who had a terrible season but their entire bowling has been given a revamp. Sams is a good player to say the least. He can swing the ball in the beginning and give you tight overs at the end as well. He is a complete T20 package with the batting that he offers.
