With the IPL 2023 Auctions done, the franchises have filled in the missing slots and acquired backup players. The only thing left to be done now is to count the days until the start of the 16th edition. Only three teams – KKR, MI, and PBKS – have not filled up the entire 25 slots available and settled for a smaller squad. IPL 2023, Complete squads: GT | SRH | RR | MI | PBKS | CSK | RCB | KKR | LSG | DC KKR CEO Venky Mysore said ahead of the auction that having 20-21 players makes things easier to manage and you don’t always need to fill up all the slots available.

Almost all the franchises look balanced after their acquisitions at the Auction, except for one or two positions that seem to have a void.
