We are just a few weeks away from the highly anticipated IPL 2023 auction. It is all set to take place in Kochi on 23rd December, with over 900 players across the globe registering themselves to be part of the mini-auction. Many cricketers will be aiming to get their first IPL contract when their name goes under the hammer.
Quite a few uncapped Indian players like Vasuki Koushik, Ankit Bawne and Samarth Vyas stole the limelight in the Indian domestic circuit this year. BCCI recently hosted Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy, which saw the cricketers impress IPL franchises by showcasing their skills. They could make it count by going big and earning their first IPL contract in December.
Chirag Jani is one of the players who has proved his worth in white ball cricket with consistent outings in the List A games. The 33-year-old was among the best-performing players in both domestic tournaments and will surely be on the radar of quite a few teams.

Chirag Jani started to make an impression in the knockout stages of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022, showcasing his value as Saurashtra’s prime all-rounder. His match-winning effort against Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and a hat-trick in the final alongside a vital partnership with Sheldon Jackson to see his team remains fresh in our memories.
Chirag Jani in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022:
Teams that are looking for a tried-and-tested medium pacer and a strong hitter of the ball will opt to look at Chirag Jani as a value addition to the team. According to our estimate, Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals could make a move for him. However, Gujarat Titans can also not be ruled out from signing Jani, who will be accustomed to the conditions, being a local boy to the base of the franchise.
Chirag Jani will be eager to prove himself on the biggest stage in Indian cricket. He will look to lock horns against a few of the best players in the world and make a name for himself while also hoping to get a chance at the international level as well. It remains interesting to see if he can go on to represent India and fulfil his childhood dream in the future.
