IPL Auctions 2023: Details for Delhi Capitals’ purse balance, retained players and released players

Indian Premier League (IPL) released the list for the upcoming auction, which will take place in Kochi on December 23. A total of 405 cricket players will be auctioned off. The 10 franchises initially selected 369 players from the list of 991 players who had signed up for the IPL’s 2023 season. A total of 405 players will be offered at the IPL 2023 Auction after the franchises later requested the addition of 36 players, who were included in the final list.

Out of those 405 players in the list, 273 are Indians, 132 are overseas players while four are from associate nations. Meanwhile, 119 of those 405 players are capped international players while 282 are uncapped.

Pacer Shardul Thakur was released by the Rishabh Pant-led team, and in his place, Aman Khan from the Kolkata Knight Riders was signed. Two of the other released players were Tim Seifert and KS Bharat who acted as Pant’s backup wicket-keepers but now Delhi will therefore be looking for a keeper at the auction.
