IPL 2023 Delhi Capitals Mini Auction Day: When the Delhi Capitals entered IPL 2023, they had their work cut out for them. The Rishabh Pant-led Capitals have participated in the last 12 IPL tournaments, but they have failed to bring home a championship.
This year, they will have another opportunity to make minor roster adjustments in preparation for the IPL 2023 season.
The mini-auction for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 was one to remember because it broke numerous previous records. Some of the largest acquisitions in the competition’s history occurred at the Kochi event on Friday, December 23. After becoming the most expensive player (18.25 Cr) in IPL history, Sam Curran snatched all the attention.
Prior to the auction, the Delhi Capitals released four players. All-arounder Shardul Thakur (who was traded), Tim Seifert, Ashwin Hebbar, Srikar Bharat, and Mandeep Singh are among the individuals mentioned, while Aman Khan was brought in via trade from Kolkata Knight Rider (KKR).
