The IPL 2023 Auctions will take place on December 23, 2022, at 1.00 PM, and fans across India will be able to watch the action unfold LIVE from the auction table on Star Sports Network’s show Cricket Live – Auction Special.
To provide fans with in-depth knowledge of auction strategies, player recruitment, and other topics, Star Sports has assembled a stellar team of widely acclaimed auction specialists who can share first-hand knowledge of what happens on the auction table with viewers.
“This year’s auction panelists on Star Sports have been handpicked to provide the best insights to our viewers,” a Star Sports spokesperson said. These are some of the most knowledgeable cricket experts, with years of experience not only on the field and in team management, but also auction strategies and tactics.
“Our English language feed boasts of names like Ian Bishop, who is arguably among the crème de la crème in the cricket world with an indelible profile that speaks volumes of his stature. Tom Moody and Simon Katich, who were crucial members during the auction strategy of various IPL teams, and Aaron Finch, one of the most decorated cricketers in Australia, who has represented a record nine IPL franchises in his career.
Along with Jatin Sapru, the Hindi feed will include top experts such as Aakash Chopra, Irfan Pathan, and Amol Mazumdar. Lakshmipathy Balaji, Sadagoppan Ramesh, and Subramaniam Badrinath will appear in the Tamil feed, while Venugopal Rao, MSK Prasad, and Ashish Reddy will appear in the Telugu feed. Vijay Bharadwaj, Srinivas Murthy, and Balachandra Akhil will appear on the Kannada feed.
As part of an initiative to bring fans closer to the auctions, Star Sports also launched the “Election Se Selection” contest for fans across India. Millions of fans participated in the contest and 20 fans, along with 5 super fans, are selected to visit the studios for the Auction Day.
Catch all of the action from the IPL 2023 Auctions on Cricket Live – Auction Special on December 23, 2022, at 1.00 p.m. IST on the Star Sports Network.
