The IPL 2023 mini-auction was held in Kochi on Friday, December 23, and the Gujarat Titansthe reigning champions, had the plan to strengthen an already formidable team by adding additional depth. In the months prior to this tournament, they had traded veteran New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson and Afghan stumper Rahmanullah Gurbaz to the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Along with Lockie Ferguson and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the Hardik Pandya-led team parted ways with players including Dominic Drakes, Gurkeerat Singh, Jason Roy, and Varun Aaron prior to the IPL 2023 auction.
