<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/this-cap-never-came-free-to-anyone-manish-pandey-as-he-eyes-ranji-trophy-win-for-karnataka/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manish Pandey</a> is among the most prolific run-getters in the history of the Indian Premier League. The 33-year-old has been part of the lucrative T20 tournament since its very inception in 2008 and has amassed 3648 runs in 160 matches at a strike rate of 121.52, including one blistering century and 21 half-centuries.&nbsp;

Lucknow Super Giants picked the Indian batter at the 2022 mega auction to bring experience in the middle order. However, Manish was not at his best with the bat and could only score just 88 runs in six games at a strike rate of 110.00. Following his poor outings, LSG did not retain him for the next season.

Manish will now be a part of the IPL 2023 player auction. The Nainital-born is an experienced campaigner and many franchises could be interested in signing him at the upcoming auction. One could even witness a bidding war between teams to acquire the services of the ace batter for the 16th edition.

Here are five teams that can target Manish Pandey at the auction:

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/gujarat-titans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gujarat Titans</a> scripted history in the 15th edition of the lucrative T20 tournament by winning the title in their debut season itself.

Hardik Pandya &amp; co. had a lot of positives throughout their phenomenal campaign as different players raised their hands on different occasions. However, the team management struggled to find the right candidate for the number three position in the batting line-up.

The Gujarat franchise entrusted Vijay Shankar with the role but the 31-year-old failed to deliver the goods and could manage mere 19 runs in four games. Following Shankar's miserable outings, GT replaced him with Sai Sudharsan. The youngster did a decent job and scored 145 runs in five games at a strike rate of 127.19.

However, in the latter half of the tournament, the Gujarat franchise dropped Sudharsan and brought Matthew Wade back in his place which did not produce results.

GT’s search for a batter to slot in at number three could end with Manish. The Indian batter has done a great job at that position in the IPL and Hardik &amp; co. could go all guns blazing to sign the 33-year-old at the upcoming auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/robin-uthappa-announces-retirement-from-all-forms-of-indian-cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robin Uthappa</a> was a vital cog in Chennai Super Kings' batting wheel during the 2022 season. Slotting in the top order, the flamboyant batter took the attack to the opposition from ball one and also steadied the ship whenever the team was in trouble. In the 2022 edition, the 37-year-old scored 230 runs in 12 games at a strike rate of 134.50.&nbsp;

With the veteran batter hanging his boots from all forms of Indian cricket, there is now a huge void in the CSK batting line-up. The four-time IPL champions shall go fishing for a solid Indian batter at the IPL 2023 player auction to fill Uthappa’s boots and the team management could look at Manish for that role.

The 33-year-old has been a run bank at the top of the order and is a really good player of both pace and spin. Thus, Manish could prove to be a great addition to the CSK side. Moreover, with MS Dhoni &amp; co. considered big on roping experienced players, the Chennai team could raise their paddle to pick the Nainital-born at the auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/punjab-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayank Agarwal</a> was quite outstanding with the bat for Punjab Kings in the 2020 and 2021 seasons of the Indian Premier League, where he amassed a combined tally of 865 runs in 23 games at a strike rate of over 140. PBKS retained the Indian batter for the 15th edition of the lucrative T20 tournament.

However, Mayank struggled to get going with the bat and managed to score 196 runs in 13 games at a strike rate of 122.50. With the likes of Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow in the mix, PBKS pushed the Indian batter into the middle order, which did not do him much good. Following a mediocre performance, Punjab released him ahead of the upcoming player auction.

With Mayank not in the mix, PBKS would need a batter who could hold the innings together and allow the stroke makers to play with freedom. Manish could be the right fit to play the anchor role and the Punjab franchise could go hammer and tongs to sign him at the forthcoming auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/srh-sunrisers-hyderabad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunrisers Hyderabad</a> were far from their best during the 15th edition of the tournament and finished in the eighth position with six wins in 14 games. In a bid to revamp their squad for the next season, SRH have let go of 12 players, including the likes of Kane Williamson and Nicholas Pooran.

With the ace-batting duo of Williamson and Pooran released, SRH would need top-drawer players to fill the big holes in the batting line-up. To achieve the same, the Hyderabad management could look at someone like Manish to ease their batting concerns.

The 33-year-old (Manish) was associated with SRH from the 2018 to the 2021 season. In the four editions, Manish played a total of 51 games and aggregated 1345 runs at a decent strike rate. Given, the Indian batter has been a proven performer for the Hyderabad franchise, the think tank might go bonkers to sign him at the upcoming auction.&nbsp;Thus, a Manish-SRH reunion is on the cards.

1. Royal Challengers Bangalore&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rcb-royal-challengers-bangalore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Royal Challengers Bangalore</a> assembled a well-rounded squad at the 2022 mega auction and reaped dividends of the same reaching the second qualifier of the tournament. However, RCB&nbsp;struggled to find a player who could act as a glue between Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik in the middle order.

The Bangalore franchise tried Suyash Prabhudessai for the role but the youngster failed to impress with his displays and could manage only 67 runs in five games at a strike rate of 113.56. Following Suyash’s poor outings, the team management turned to Mahipal Lomror. Though the Rajasthan-born struck at 150.88 in seven games, he scored just 86 runs.

Thus, a solid middle-order batter could be on RCB’s wishlist for the upcoming player auction. Given Manish is highly experienced when it comes to playing in the middle order, Faf du Plessis &amp; co. could look to add the elegant batter to their roster and bid for him at the IPL 2023 auction.
