The world is waiting for the start of IPL 2024 and as we are coming close to the auction date, the anticipation has reached a fever pitch with the release of the player list.
Among the myriad of talents set to go under the hammer, one thing is very important to consider only three Indian players have found themselves in the esteemed INR 2 crore price bracket.
Each player brings a unique set of skills and experiences to the table, making them highly coveted assets for franchises looking to strengthen their squads for the IPL 2024 season.
The IPL 2024 auction is scheduled to take place in Dubai on December 19, 2023. Check details on 3 players who have registered under INR 2 Crore club.
Harshal Patel: Previous Team (RCB)
Harshal Patel, known for his crafty variations and ability to pick up crucial wickets, finds himself in the INR 2 crore league after parting ways with Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The dynamic Indian bowler’s exceptional performances in previous IPL seasons have undoubtedly positioned him as a hot commodity in the auction.
Shardul Thakur: Previous Team (KKR)
Shardul Thakur, who is a dependable fast bowler and known for his ability to deliver under pressure, is set to be one of the sought-after talents in the IPL 2024 auction.
Shardul Thakur was one of the premier pacers from the CSK squad over the year from 2018 onwards but last year he was with KKR and was released this time.
Thakur’s past performances, combined with his skill set, make him an attractive option for franchises seeking a reliable presence in the fast-bowling department.
Umesh Yadav: Previous Team (KKR)
Umesh Yadav, despite not featuring in the current plans of the Indian cricket team, presents an intriguing proposition.
The seasoned pacer, released by Kolkata Knight Riders after the IPL 2023 season, brings a wealth of experience to the table. However, questions linger about whether his exclusion from national duties will impact his market value.
It is interesting to see, that the INR 1.5 crore and INR 1 crore price brackets lack any Indian players. This deviation from the norm suggests that franchises might be prioritising quality over quantity in their pursuit of top-tier talent.
