IPL 2023: 5 most surprising retentions from franchises ahead of auction
These players didn't live up to the expectations for their respective franchises.
4. Manan Vohra
The Lucknow Super Giants signed the Punjab batter at a base price of INR 20 lakh in the auction for IPL 2022. Manan Vohra is an attacking top-order batter with a proven track record in the Indian Premier League.
However, courtesy of a settled opening pair of KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock, Manan Vohra got only two chances in the IPL 2022. The right-handed batter batted at number three and scored 19 runs in those two games at a strike rate of 172.73.
Manan Vohra didn’t play in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23 to get a run behind him. Furthermore, LSG have retained their opening combination as well. Hence, retaining the talented lad from Punjab came as a surprise as he could have gotten more game-time somewhere else.
