Incidentally, the leading run-scorers and wicket-takers of the season are rewarded with orange and purple caps, respectively, in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He questioned whether there is a need to rethink this approach of awarding players based on the volumes of runs scored and wickets scalped.
Speaking about the same on his YouTube channel, Ashwin explained:
The Men in Blue’s performances in the shortest format have come under the scanner following their 10-wicket loss to England in the semi-final of the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2022. Furthermore, the side also suffered a premature exit at the Asia Cup in the UAE earlier this year.
“Two players will definitely go for more than ₹15 crore” - Ravichandran Ashwin’s prophecy for the IPL 2023 auction
Speaking about the IPL 2023 mini-auction, Ashwin predicted that several cricketers could rake in a big moolah at the event. He noted how the demand is going to be very, whereas there will be less, given the limited number of players.
The seasoned campaigner suggested that there will be at least two players who could fetch a ₹15 crore-plus contract. Ashwin added:
Ashwin was retained by the Rajasthan Royals (RR) prior to the auction. The event is scheduled to take place in Kochi on December 23.
