The IPL auction always turns out to be a blessing for many budding talents, who aspire to get an opportunity in the lucrative league. 

This year's mini-auction has been no different, as many Indian domestic talents have managed to earn a contract for the upcoming season of the tournament. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad emerged as the most active franchise to invest in young blood, as they bagged the services of Vivrant Sharma (INR 2.60 Crores), Samarth Vyas (INR 20 Lakhs), Sanvir Singh (INR 20 Lakhs) and Upendra Singh Yadav (INR 25 Lakhs) for the IPL 2023. 

Vivrant was the second-best batter for Jammu and Kashmir in the recently concluded Vijay Hazare Trophy, amassing 395 runs at a superb average of 56.42 and a strike rate of 94.72. More importantly, SRH required a left-handed batter in their lineup and Vivrant can be a solid option to play that role. 

Meanwhile, Samarth Vyas had an exceptional outing for Saurashtra in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022, slamming 314 runs at an incredible strike rate of 177.40. He has healthy numbers in the shortest format, having 649 runs to his name at a magnificent strike rate of 150.58. 

Sanvir Singh is a hard-hitting batting all-rounder from Punjab, who has garnered 151 runs at a blistering strike rate of 186.41 and scalped three wickets in 15 matches. On the other hand, Upendra Singh Yadav is a keeper-batter from Railways, who has 646 runs to his name in 30 innings.
