The Lanka Premier League 2022 (LPL) started with a doubleheader match in Hambantota. Over the next two weeks, the five teams will face the heat against one another, with the top four teams moving on to the playoffs. On December 23, the LPL 2022 championship game will be played.
Whereas, on December 23 in Kochi, the IPL auction 2023 is also scheduled to take place. 991 players have signed up for the major event. With a squad size cap of 25, the teams can only offer contracts to a total of 87 cricketers, 30 of whom may be from outside.
Therefore, the players taking part in the Lanka Premier League 2022 have a great chance to win over the IPL franchises with their strong performances for their LPL teams. Know the 3 players who might get high bids during the IPL 2023 auction with their performance in LPL 2022.
Sikandar Raza
One of the best T20 all-rounders in the game of cricket right now is Sikandar Raza. He can bowl four overs of spin for his team while also batting in the middle order, scoring runs quickly.
Raza will probably win his first IPL contract at the upcoming auction, but a stellar performance for the Dambulla Giants could raise his value. He is one among the players who might even get bids over 5 crore due to his prowess.
Kusal Mendis
Currently, Kusal Mendis is among the best batters in Sri Lankan cricket. In 49 T20Is, he has scored 1,059 runs overall for his country. The Galle Gladiators team in the Lanka Premier League is led by Mendis.
The 27-year-old bats first and has wicket-keeping skills. The captain of the Galle Gladiators may end up being a sought-after player at the IPL 2023 Auction if he racks up tonnes of runs in the LPL 2022.
Romario Shepherd
In the shorter forms of cricket, Romario Shepherd has established himself as a wicket-taking bowler. At the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, the Caribbean superstar won a big contract from Sunrisers Hyderabad worth 7.75 crores. However, given the few opportunities he had, he was unable to justify his high price.
If Shepherd puts on standout performances for the Colombo Stars in the Lanka Premier League 2022, he has a chance to land another significant contract this year.
