As we know, the IPL 2023 mini-auction is scheduled on December 23 in Kochi. With each passing day, people are speculating about the potential picks of the ten concerned franchises in the auction, with their prime focus being the defending champions, Gujarat Titans. 

As expected, Gujarat retained their core players, releasing some non-performing players. However, the Hardik Pandya-led team released Lockie Ferguson, thereby surprising fans as well as experts. 

Meanwhile, the Titans' head coach Ashish Nehra has revealed that they will go for some fast bowlers in the mini-auction. 

However, the former India cricketer clarified that they would be calculative in the auction, buying players as per requirements. 

Here's what Nehra stated

"Even if you win, you still make a few changes as per needs. We might need a fast bowler. In a small auction, you make changes as per requirements. We are no different,

"We don't have too many requirements as we haven't released that many players. The domestic spot is also two or three left. It's not that you will (always) get the player you want. There are nine more teams. So when that player comes into auction, that is also important."
