Indian T20 League 2023 mini-auction: Marquee players with 2 crore base price that might go unsold
The Indian T20 League auction always brings joy to the players who get big bucks in the tournament. Some players must watch and not participate in the tournament while these players enjoy it. Even some of the top players occasionally have to sit out from the competition. With the mini-auction for the 2023 auction arriving soon, let’s have a look at the players in the two-crore bracket that might go unsold in the event.
#1 Jason Holder

The star all-rounder from the West Indies, Jason Holder, was released by his former team, Lucknow, for failing to live up to expectations. He has now set a base price of 2 crores for himself, which might not sit well with the teams going into the auction with a limited budget.
In the tournament, Holder has played 38 games for various franchises so far. However, he has only managed to score 247 runs in 24 innings, with a 123 strike rate and the best score of 47. He has only taken 49 wickets with the ball, with an 8.57 economy.
#2 Chris Lynn

Chris Lynn, Australia’s star batter, was once viewed as a huge asset in the Indian T20 League. However, that has changed over the years. His last team, Mumbai, released him after using him in just one game.
When he played for the Kolkata team, he was one of the most ferocious players to look out for. Now, he has put his name back in the auction, but teams might not place any bids for him as he has not had a lot of game time of late.
#3 Travis Head

Another star from Australia who might not get any bids in the upcoming auction is Travis Head. The batter has very little experience playing in T20I matches and has only participated in a small number of games in the Indian T20 League.
While he is a regular in the Australian Test side, Head has only played 10 games in the Indian T20 League and 17 T20I games. He might go unsold in this year’s auction because of his limited experience in the format.
