Preparations for IPL 2023 (Season 16) Mini Auction have started. A total of 991 players have registered for this auction. But it is special that two Indian cricketers are not named in this list of players. IPL 2023: Team India Cheteshwar pujara hanuma vihari withdraw from IPL.
This means that a total of 19 players who played for Team India have given their names for this mini auction. But two Indian players have not registered their names in this list. Cheteshwar Pujara: Known as a Test specialist, Cheteshwar Pujara was selected for the Chennai Super Kings team in IPL 2021.
But he did not get a chance to participate in a single match. Also, he was dropped from the team last season. That means Cheteshwar Pujara last played an IPL match in 2014 even though he is in the CSK team in 2021. Also, Pujara, who has played 30 IPL matches so far, has scored 390 runs at an average of 20.52.
However, in the Royal London Cup held in England this year, he scored 614 runs from 8 matches. That is why Pujara was expected to make a name for IPL this time. But for IPL 2023 bidding, Pujara surprised by not giving his name.

Hanuma Vihari: Hanuma Vihari, who played for Delhi Capitals in 2019, did not appear in the IPL after that. Apart from that, this time also Vihari has not given his name for the auction of the rich cricket league. Hanuma Vihari who has played 24 matches in IPL so far has scored only 284 runs. This could also be a reason why Vihari, who is focused on Test cricket, opted out of the mini auction.
