IPL 2023 Auction: Will Ankit Bawne Bag IPL Contract In IPL 2023?

IPL 2023 Auction: Ankit Bawne To Bag IPL Contract In IPL 2023

I wonder why Ankit Bawne has yet to debut for team India. Looking at his stats, one cannot deny that Bawne is a legend in the domestic circuit. Indeed one of the finest middle-order batters, Bawne, deserves a second chance in IPL 2023. Yes, you heard it right Bawne had represented Delhi Daredevils in IPL 2017, where the right-handed batter failed to excite the Daredevils franchise. 

Most runs in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022:

1. N Jagadeesan – 830 (8 innings)
2. Ruturaj Gaikwad – 660 (5 innings)
3. Sai Sudharsan – 610 (8 innings)
4. Ankit Bawne – 587 (9 innings)
5. Riyan Parag – 532 (9 innings) @BCCIdomestic #VijayHazareTrophy2022

A word also for Jaydev Unadkat, who has led Saurashtra brilliantly in the last few years. Bowled a very tight spell to build the pressure, came back to take the big wicket of Ankit Bawne, and was good with his bowling changes and field placements in general

Ankit Bawne, in his domestic career, had scored 11,094 runs smashing 31 centuries and 53 half-centuries. Bawne has been a key player for Maharashtra for over a decade. Bawne had been in controversies due to child prodigies in the Indian domestic circuit. Looking at his current form, the veteran has polished his skills and transformed himself into a depending middle-order batter. 

Having a good middle-order batsman is on every franchise checklist. Looking at his recent form in white ball cricket, it seems every franchise may bid on him. Bawne brings depth to your batting line-up, and someone this versatile should be noticed in IPL 2023 Auction.

Which Franchise Should Bid on Ankit Bawne

Franchises such as Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans may bid for Bawne, as their middle order was a concern in the previous leg of IPL 2022. Having someone like him in the squad would be like the cherry on the cake for SRH and GT.
