IPL 2023 Auctions playing 11

IPL 2023 Auctions ended on December 23rd in Kochi. It was a memorable affair with many records being broken. On that note, in this article, we predict the playing 11 of all IPL franchises for IPL 2023.

Chennai Super Kings

Delhi Capitals

DC got its bowling attack wrong and invested in the wrong players. However, the signing of Rilee Rossouw could be vital for them. 

Predicted XI: David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Rilee Rossouw, Rishabh Pant (C&WK), Sarfaraz Khan, Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed and Chetan Sakariya.
