The operations of the 16th edition of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League</a> have been going strong. IPL 2023 auction is scheduled to be held on December 23 in Kochi. Ahead of the marquee event, franchises made their first acts and let go of a total of 90 players in a bid a revamp their squads.&nbsp;

In the history of IPL auctions, there have been times when franchises have re-signed players just after parting ways with them. For instance, Jaydev Unadkat was picked by Rajasthan Royals at the 2018 mega auction, released after the season, and was then re-picked by the team at the next player auction. In the forthcoming auction, fans could again witness franchises reinvest in a few of their released players.

Here are 5 Released players who can be bought back by their teams :

One of the youngsters from the class of 2018 that Kolkata Knight Riders reinvested in for the 15th IPL edition was <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rr-vs-kkr-pat-cummins-and-shivam-mavi-team-up-to-take-an-outstanding-relay-catch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shivam Mavi</a>. The KKR management went hammer and tongs to sign him at the 2022 mega auction and eventually grabbed him for INR 7.25 crore.

However, the 23-year-old failed to repay the faith of the team and had an awful show with the ball. In the six matches Mavi played, he could only manage five wickets and leaked runs at an economy of 10.32. Following the string of mediocre performances, he was dropped from the team.&nbsp;

The Kolkata franchise decided against retaining the Noida-born for the next season. One of the prime reasons for Mavi’s release could have been his hefty paycheck. And if KKR had an opportunity to re-sign the ace pacer at an affordable price, the think tank might latch onto it.

Mavi has been associated with KKR for the last five seasons and did a great job for the team in seasons 2020 and 2021, picking a combined tally of 20 wickets in 17 matches at an economy of under eight. Thus, one could see the Kolkata franchise raise their paddle to pick him at the upcoming auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/it-is-not-going-to-stop-me-nicholas-pooran-vows-to-come-back-stronger-after-west-indies-embarrassing-t20-world-cup-exit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicholas Pooran</a> has been a proven performer in the T20 circuit. The 27-year-old has featured in 256 games in the shortest format and amassed 4942 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 141.15. Sunrisers Hyderabad roped in the swashbuckling batter at the 2022 mega auction to bolster their batting lineup. He had an outstanding campaign in the 2022 season as he accumulated 306 runs in 14 games at a strike rate of 144.34.&nbsp;

However, the West Indies batter was not able to keep up with the good form across T20 competitions. In the Caribbean Premier League 2022, he managed to score just 108 runs in 10 games at a strike rate of 117.39. The Trinidad-born was dismal with the bat at the T20 World Cup 2022 as well and scored 25 runs in three games at a strike rate of 86.20.

SRH were not inclined towards repaying the whopping sum of INR 10.75 crore for an out-of-form Pooran and thus, did not retain him for the 16th edition of the lucrative T20 tournament. But as the West Indies white-ball skipper had fared well for the Hyderabad franchise, the think tank might look to buy him back at a price lower than his previous amount.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-mayank-agarwal-appointed-as-punjab-kings-captain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayank Agarwal</a> has been a run-bank in the Indian Premier League. The Indian batter has played 113 games and aggregated 2327 runs at a strike rate of 134.28. Punjab Kings&nbsp;paid an eye-pooping sum of INR 14 crore to retain the 31-year-old for the 2022 season and appointed him the captain of the team.

However, Mayank was not able to lead his side to a playoff spot and PBKS ended the league stage at the sixth position with seven wins in 14 games. The Bangalore-born also failed to deliver on the batting front as he could manage mere 196 runs in 13 games at a strike rate of 122.50.&nbsp;

With Mayank unable to justify his price tag, Punjab decided to move past him ahead of the next season. However, it should not be a surprise if the team management raises the paddle for him at the forthcoming auction. The elegant batter has been a consistent performer for PBKS over the years and Punjab could try to sign him at a reasonable price.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/just-lead-attack-and-get-us-onto-right-track-jason-holder-backs-alzarri-joseph-to-take-west-indies-to-new-heights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Holder</a> has been a proven performer in the shortest format of the game. The 31-year-old is a wily customer with the ball and has bagged 197 wickets in 200 T20 matches at an economy of 7.86. Besides his bowling exploits, he is a ferocious striker of the cricket ball and has smashed 1758 runs in 149 innings at a strike rate of 126.38.

Lucknow Super Giants picked the West Indies all-rounder at the 2022 mega auction to provide depth to the side. Though Holder took 14 wickets in 12 games, he leaked runs at an alarming rate of 9.42. The Barbados-born did a decent job with the bat, smashing 58 runs at a strike rate of 131.82.

The veteran all-rounder was not able to perform as per his lofty standards and thus, the Lucknow franchise released him ahead of the 2023 player auction. However, LSG’s ploy to part ways with Holder could be due to his price tag of INR 8.75 crore. And if the ace all-rounder is available at the auction at a lower price, Lucknow might grab him with both hands.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rario/rario-carnival-champions-and-legends-pack-drop-5-dwayne-bravo-records-that-you-didnt-know-about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dwayne Bravo</a> is one of the greatest T20 cricketers in world cricket. The veteran all-rounder has shown his mettle in T20 leagues around the world and his numbers tell the story. He has picked an insane tally of 614 wickets in 556 T20 matches at an economy of 8.23 and scored 6894 runs at a strike rate of 126.26.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bravo has been exceptional in the Indian Premier League and bagged 183 wickets in 161 games at an economy of 8.38 and scored 1560 runs at a strike rate of 129.57. Even in the last season, he had an outstanding run with the ball for Chennai Super Kings as he scalped 16 wickets in 10 games at an economy of 8.71.&nbsp;

Aged 39, the T20 legend is at the twilight of his career, and hence, the CSK management decided to move past Bravo. This was truly a bombshell as the Chennai franchise is known to be big on player loyalty and ending a 10-year association was a surprising decision.

However, having also released Chris Jordan and Adam Milne, it is likely MS Dhoni &amp; co. will go fishing for death bowling options at the upcoming auction. But if the think tank does get its first-choice picks at the auction, it could re-sign the West Indies all-rounder to lessen the death-bowling concerns. Thus, a Bravo-CSK reunion can’t be ruled out yet.
