The auction for IPL 2023 will take place on December 23 in Kochi where all the franchisees will look to go for their desired players. All 10 teams have already put forward the list of their retained and released players, not only this some teams have also made a trade to get players from other franchises.
In all this chaos, the question remains the same, which player could be the most expensive buy this season? The veteran Indian off-spinner R Ashwin has come with a special word for the star English all-rounder Ben Stokes. Ashwin feels that Stokes could not only get the maximum bid but that Lucknow SuperGiants is one such franchisee who will look to go high for the English test captain.
Going down memory lane, Cricinformer wants to get readers to notice that Stokes scripted the victory for England in the final of the ICC T20 World Cup against Pakistan where he played a sensible knock of 52 not out.
Ashwin feels that MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings will try to go behind Sam Curran and if they miss him, they will look to bang on Ben Stokes and Cameron Green at the same time.
Talking to his youtube channel R Ashwin said, “Lucknow Super Giants will definitely go for Ben Stokes. Only if they don’t get him, they will go for other players.”
The spinner further added, “CSK will go for Sam Curran from the Marquee list. They won’t get him. They will go all-out on Ben Stokes as well. They won’t get him as well. They will also go for Cameron Green.”
