    It is that time of the year when all the IPL franchises will start their preparations for the auction war before the battle on the cricket ground. Recently, all the teams announced their retained and released players as they will now look to sign players in the min-auctions for IPL 2023.

    Among all the categories, the most demanding set of players will be the all-rounders. It is a no-secret that the utility players who can bat and bowl provide a massive balance in the shortest format. Furthermore, the mini-auctions will have limited options and the demand-supply concept is likely to inflate the price of the all-rounders.

    Hence, in this post, we will take a look at the three all-rounders who are likely to be the most expensive signings in the IPL 2023 auctions.

    The Aussie all-rounder has recently burst onto the scene but is already making headlines with his game. The lanky all-rounder is an aggressive right-handed batter and can hit the 140 kmph mark consistently with the ball in hand.

    Cameron Green has played only 8 T20Is in his short career. He has scored 139 runs and picked 5 wickets in those matches. However, his strike rate of 173.75 with the bat stands out. Green impressed a lot with his explosive batting at the top during the T20I series against India before the T20 World Cup 2022.

    Cameron Green will add a lot of firepower to any of the ten teams. Hence, it is more likely that most teams will run behind the Aussie and a bidding war will take place to sign him in the mini-auctions ahead of IPL 2023.
