Good on you!
It is a great net session to prepare for BBL even though scoring is slightly different. I actually prefer how we don’t select emergencies for IPL and lower bench score (above zero) counts. It makes looping a little more complicated, but I believe looping is a big key to success. If you can perfect it in IPL, BBL becomes a breeze!

This was written on the 23rd December, 2022 after the auction, so doesn't take into account season long injuries
IPL auction 2023: How the 10 teams stack up
Who got what they wanted? Who missed out? A look at how the franchises fared at a historic IPL auction
Chennai Super Kings
By S Sudarshanan
Squad strength 25 players (Overseas 8)
Players bought: Ajinkya Rahane (US$ 60,000), Ben Stokes (US$ 1.98 million), Shaik Rasheed (US$ 24,000), Nishant Sindhu (US$ 73,000), Kyle Jamieson (US$ 121,000), Ajay Mandal (US$ 24,000), Bhagath Varma (US$ 24,000)
The wins: Ben Stokes. Super Kings tried to use Shivam Dube in a multi-faceted role last season but couldn't get the desired results. In Stokes, they have a reliable big-hitter and also a two-to-three overs bowler, if not a full-quota one. In many ways, he fills the void left by Dwayne Bravo's retirement. Kyle Jamieson is also a good purchase but he's coming off a long injury layoff.
The losses
They do not have an Indian back-up wicketkeeper to MS Dhoni, after failing to buy back N Jagadeesan. Devon Conway and Ambati Rayudu are their other options with the gloves. CSK were also unable to buy any proven Indian batters, apart from Ajinkya Rahane.

The losses: They couldn't get an allrounder back-up for Mitchell Marsh, who can be prone to injury. They bid up to INR 17.25 crore for Cameron Green but lost out to Mumbai, and dropped out of the bidding for Nicholas Pooran at INR 15.75 crore.

Gujarat Titans
By S Sudarshanan
Squad strength 25 players (Overseas 8)
Players bought: Kane Williamson (US$ 243,000), Odean Smith (US$ 60,000), KS Bharat (US$ 146,000), Shivam Mavi (US$ 731,000), Joshua Little (US$ 536,000), Urvil Patel (US$ 24,000), Mohit Sharma (US$ 60,000)
The wins: They needed an overseas quick to replace Lockie Ferguson; they bought Josh Little, the first Ireland player ever sold at the IPL auction. They needed an Indian quick as back-up for Yash Dayal; they bought Shivam Mavi. Gujarat's top-order batting was shaky last season, and they bought Kane Williamson's experience at base price. With their core already intact, the Titans ticked off a lot of back-up players.
The losses: Gujarat did not bid for a marquee allrounder, because they had only 19.25 crore in the purse, and they already have Hardik Pandya. They managed to buy Odean Smith as back-up.

Kolkata Knight Riders
By S Sudarshanan
Squad strength 22 players (Overseas 8)
Players bought: N Jagadeesan (US$ 109,000), Vaibhav Arora (US$ 73,000), Suyash Sharma (US$ 24, 000), David Wiese (US$ 121,000), Kulwant Khejroliya (US$ 24,000), Mandeep Singh (US$ 60,000), Litton Das (US$ 60,000), Shakib Al Hasan (US$ 182,000)
The wins: By procuring David Wiese at a bargain price, KKR now have a back-up for Andre Russell. In N Jagadeesan and Litton Das, they have two wicketkeepers who can also open the batting. Mandeep Singh's experience in the middle order also should serve them well.
The losses: KKR didn't have much money to spend, and the one gap they haven't filled is an Indian fast bowling replacement for Shivam Mavi, whom they had let go and could not buy back.

Lucknow Super Giants
By Abhimanyu Bose
Squad strength: 25 players (8 overseas)
Players bought: Nicholas Pooran (US$ 1.95 million), Jaydev Unadkat (US$ 60,000), Yash Thakur (US$ 54,000), Daniel Sams (US$ 91,000), Romario Shepherd (US$ 60,000), Amit Mishra (US$ 60,000), Prerak Mankad (US$ 24,000), Swapnil Singh (US$ 24,000), Naveen-ul-Haq (US$ 60,000), Yudhvir Charak (US$ 24,000)
The wins: Having let go of Dushmantha Chameera, Lucknow Super Giants needed to get cover for Mark Wood. While they did not get an elite overseas quick, they did add depth with the signings of Daniel Sams and Romario Shepherd. Mohsin Khan, their frontline left-arm seamer last season, has not played any cricket since the last IPL and Super Giants bought Jaydev Unadkat as back up. The No. 3 spot became an issue for them last season, and they spent INR 16 crore on Nicholas Pooran to try and fill that hole.
The losses: Having released Jason Holder, they needed a top-tier allrounder, but missed out on all the big guns in the auction. They tried for Curran and Stokes but were unsuccessful. They also lost Ireland seamer Josh Little to Titans.

Mumbai Indians
By Alagappan Muthu
Squad strength: 24 (Overseas 8)
Players bought: Cameron Green (US$ 2.1 million), Jhye Richardson (US$ 180,000), Piyush Chawla (US$ 60,000), Shams Mulani (US$ 24,000), Nehal Wadhera (US$ 24,000), Raghav Goyal (US$ 24,000), Duan Jansen (US$ 24,000), Vishnu Vinod (US$ 24,000)
The wins: Mumbai came in with INR 20.55 crore. They spent 17.5 of it on Cameron Green as a replacement allrounder for Kieron Pollard. Can bat anywhere, but best used at the top of the order. Bowls decent medium pace. "Fits the age profile too," said owner Akash Ambani as Mumbai begin building a young core of players they can count on for the coming years.
The losses: If Bumrah and Archer are fit, this bowling attack looks absolutely awesome. If not, there's trouble, because Mumbai were unable to buy back-ups beyond Jhye Richardson.

Punjab Kings
By Abhimanyu Bose
Squad strength: 22 (overseas 7)
Players bought : Sam Curran (US$ 2.25 million), Sikandar Raza (US$ 60,000), Harpreet Bhatia (US$ 48,000), Vidwath Kaverappa (US$ 24,000), Mohit Rathee (USD 24,000), Shivam Singh (US$ 24,000)
The wins: Punjab Kings were touted to break the bank for an allrounder, and they did so, making Sam Curran the most expensive player in IPL history. Getting Sikandar Raza at his base price is a steal; as a spinning allrounder, Raza is back-up for Liam Livingstone, who is nursing an injury at present.
The losses: Punjab had let go of Mayank Agarwal and could not buy a proven Indian top-order batter. They also didn't strengthen their spin attack with a renowned specialist. At the end of everything, Punjab had INR 12.2 crore left unused.
