Predicting Most Expensive Player of Tata IPL 2023 Auction:
Sam Curran:
The stocks of Sam Curran have gone up following the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022. His performance in the showpiece ICC event once again brought him back to the limelight. The all-rounder scalped 13 wickets in the World Cup 2022, which includes a 3-for in the final, and helped his side get crowned as the World T20 Champions.

Besides his magical bowling prowesses, Curran is also a handy batter towards the end of the innings. In fact, he is a very fine batter. He has been scoring crucial odd runs for his team.

Ben Stokes:
English test skipper Ben Stokes’s demands have never dipped, neither in international cricket nor in the franchise. He is a proven performer and has a knack for producing scintillating performances in important games.
Stokes has already been on the list of highest-paid IPL cricketers. He has featured in the IPL auction two times and on both occasions, his services were sold for more than 10 crores INR.
The English all-rounder can be the potential leader of one of the IPL franchises in the coming few years. His international experience will be crucial for any side that takes his services.
Cameron Green:
How often do we hear players making the most of the given opportunities? Quite often, No! But Australian young all-rounder Cameron Green is a classic example of how to grab the opportunity with both hands open.
Green made most of David Warner’s absence in the Australian T20I side and made a huge name for himself. In three-match T20I series against India, Cameron Green slammed two quickfire half-centuries and planted a strong thought in the minds of cricket experts and think tanks.
Notably, Green is 23 years old and can contribute for good 10 years in any franchise. He can be a long-term solution for a team in the Indian Premier League.
