One of the most valued players in IPL fgs 🤔

Josh Little has become the first player to be bought at the Indian Premier League auction whilst playing for Ireland.

The Dubliner was bought by the Gujarat Titans for a fee of 4.4 crores [approximately €460,000] in Kochi at the 2023 auction.

Last year Little had embarked on a development opportunity with IPL side Chennai Super Kings, but it was a short stint for the left-hand seamer.

The full list of players sold and unsold at the 2023 IPL player auction in Kochi. (Conversion rates as follows: USD 1 = INR 82 approx; INR 50 lakh = USD 60,000 approx; INR 1 crore = USD 120,000 approx; INR 10 crore = USD 1,200,000 approx)

Sunrisers Hyderabad

By Alagappan Muthu

Squad strength: 25 players (overseas 8)

Players bought: Harry Brook (US$ 1.6 million), Mayank Agarwal (US$ 1 million), Heinrich Klaasen (US$ 640,000), Vivrant Sharma (US$ 317,000), Adil Rashid (US$ 243,000), Mayank Dagar (US$ 219,000), Akeal Hosein (US$ 121,000), Mayank Markande (US$ 60,000), Upendra Yadav (US$ 30,000), Sanvir Singh (US$ 24,000), Samarth Vyas (US$ 24,000), Nitish Kumar Reddy (US$ 24,000), Anmolpreet Singh (US$ 24,000)

The wins: Needed a wristspinner. Got a T20 World Cup winner for just INR 2 crore. Adil Rashid's performance in the last three matches of that tournament - including the semi-final and final - read 12-1-58-4. He may not be Rashid Khan but he's close.

Middle-order muscle. It's often been lacking in Sunrisers and that's what Harry Brook brings. This will be his first IPL, but he plays spin well, he bats 360 degrees and can whack it from ball one. Ben Stokes is already comparing him to Virat Kohli.

Mayank Agarwal, if he can play to potential, can be a point of difference at the top to complement Abhishek Sharma.

Sunrisers bid for 13 players in all, got 12. Stokes was the only one they missed out. Had the money. Knew the players they wanted. Went all in for them

The losses: Who is the captain? Agarwal? Or maybe Bhuvneshwar Kumar? Right-hander heavy batting line-up. Their first-choice wicketkeeper - Glenn Phillips - rarely keeps. And INR 5.25 crore was possibly a bit much for South Africa keeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen.

Full squad

Openers: Abhishek Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, Rahul Tripathi

Middle order: Aiden Markram, Harry Brook, Abdul Samad, Anmolpreet Singh

Wicketkeepers: Glenn Phillips, Heinrich Klaasen, Upendra Yadav, Nitish Kumar Reddy

Allrounders: Washington Sundar, Vivrant Sharma, Sanvir Singh, Samarth Vyas, Mayank Dagar

Spinners: Adil Rashid, Mayank Markande, Akeal Hosein

Fast bowlers: Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, Kartik Tyagi, Umran Malik, T Natarajan, Fazalhaq Farooqi
