#5. Kane Williamson
It came as a shock to one and all when Sunrisers Hyderabad announced the release of their skipper Kane Williamson. Hyderabad also released their top batter and bowler - David Warner and Rashid Khan last year. Even though Kane Williamson hasn't been in the best of form in 2022, the Kiwi will probably attract huge bids.
Kane Williamson is a dependable batter in the middle order as well as a good captaincy option. Chennai Super Kings are in dire need of a captain with Jadeja being removed mid-season in IPL 2021 and MS Dhoni crossing the age of 40, Chennai Super Kings are very likely to go for Kane in IPL 2023 mini-auction. CSK have tried to acquire Kane Williamson in the past as well. In 76 IPL matches, Williamson has scored 2,101 runs at an average of 36.22 while striking at 126.03 with 18 fifties to his name.
