The Indian Premier League (IPL) mini-auction is slated for December 23 and will be held in Kochi, Kerala. After the 2022 season of the IPL, the 10 teams will be looking to reshuffle their squads to rebuild for the 2023 season. This would be a mini-auction as the mega auction already took place before the start of the last season.
The final auction pool will see 405 players going under the hammer, with a maximum of 87 slots available to be filled by the 10 franchises. Of these, 30 will be overseas players.
With the auction around the corner, we dive into 10 teams, take a look at the players released, what the squads look like, money left with the teams and the slots to be filled.
