The IPL auction is happening in December. This time too, the auction will be held abroad. Though this auction is mini, multiple stars will come to the auction table. Some stars were expected to be released while some were unexpected. But among those who have been released, three players could get ₹20 crore or more from this IPL auction.
This time 77 players will go up in the mini auction. The teams have a total of ₹237.55 crore. This money will be spent on 77 players. Among these players, three can catch attention.

Andre Russell
After staying with the Kolkata Knight Riders for 12 years, KKR has released him this time. He has 1651 runs and 123 wickets in his IPL career. Besides his all-round performance, he is also a good fielder.
Russell was not in good rhythm in the last few seasons. Though he is considered to be towards the end of his career, it is believed that franchises will crowd around him this time. In that case, it won't be surprising if his price crosses ₹20 crore.
Cameron Green
Aussie all-rounder Cameron Green can also earn big money this time. Former Indian cricketer Akash Chopra believes Cameron Green can get a big cheque this time. He scored a century in the last match against South Africa. His T20 strike rate is above 160.
KKR has released Russell, Moeen Ali, and Venkatesh Iyer this time. As a result, they have ₹64 crore in hand. It is believed that KKR might go for Green in place of Russell.

David Miller
Auctions have always done something beyond expectations. For instance, last season Venkatesh Iyer got ₹23.75 crore. This time, it could happen with David Miller.
Especially KKR and CSK, who need lower-order batters, might jump for Miller. Particularly KKR. As a result, it is believed there could be a fight for the experienced Miller.
In the last IPL auction, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, and Venkatesh Iyer got more than ₹20 crore. This time, if the names of the three players mentioned above are alongside these players, there will be nothing to be surprised about.
