Sunrisers Hyderabad were the most active participants of the IPL 2023 mini-auction, bidding for as many as 13 players in Kochi on Friday.

"That's a very good question," Wayne Parnell chuckled after he was asked what Pretoria Capitals are going to do with their runners-up cheque of R17.5 million. But between the laughs he still made the pertinent point that the SA20's purse is career-changing for some players.
