Discussion IPL 16 (2023) | Winner | Chennai Super Kings

Staying with the foreign players, it was not lost on the stakeholders that they walked away with the lion's share of funds transacted in Kochi. There was a bit of pondering on the issue and Cricbuzz has learnt that suggestions were made to the BCCI that this can be avoided if the board holds a player draft in place of mini-auctions while continuing with the mega-auctions as per the schedule. This would create a situation of slabs for the players and not result in mad bidding for a few players as witnessed on December 23.

It was also felt that some smart agents of foreign players have understood the tricks of the trade and enrolled a few players in the mini-auction instead of in the mega auction where they would not have commanded such high prices. The BCCI has not exactly reacted to the suggestion but the fact always remained that the Indian board never minced words in acknowledging the contribution of foreign players to the IPL. They have one year to decide.

Mini auction has too many flaws. One is Non-premium players commanding high price tag, whereas the player who entered the main auction earning less. BCCI should place restriction on the price tag for the players brought in mini auction or team budget.

For some players impact player ruke is blessings in disguise for his franchise

Example : kkr can bowl out 4 ovs quota of varun chakravarthy by 14th over and then replace him with a better fileder so by this they can save some runs.

Csk can use deepak chahar on powerplay full 4 ovs quota of him then replace him

Rr can use this rule on ashwin when defending coz after bowl out r ivs of ashwin he is no use

Didn’t you see his batting last year? That was the reason they could reach the final with a heavily unbalanced 6-5 combo they played with…

Biggest impact could be on RCB. They can start with the default playing 11, and then they could bring in Avinash Singh/Suyash in the second innings depending on whether they’re batting/bowling first…

On a serious note, they are the only franchise with an unchanged jersey since the first season (except for the army badge addition on the shoulder in 2021), maybe time for an overhaul to indicate post Dhoni era..

Basically BCCI forcing a win for MI or CSK by resting other team’s players like VK, Sanju, KL etc…
