The IPL 2024 auction is going sensational. Some amazing bid is making the program more interesting. All teams are fighting hard with each other to have the best deal. Serious battles are going on between the teams. In between this, a controversy happened with the Punjab Kings. That caught the attention.
The Controversy:
The auction for IPL 2024 is turning out as the most entertaining one. The highest bid in the history of the IPL has been done this season. KKR purchased the Aussie legend Mitchell Starc with a whopping amount of 24.75 crore. But in between this, Punjab Kings create a controversy that grabs the limelight.
As the auction was going on, Shashank Singh’s name came. PBKS bid for the youngster at the base price of 20 Lakhs. It was confirmed that PBKS bought him. But they opposed it after some time as they didn’t buy him. That created confusion. But their hammer was up in the air so the player added to their squad. That little controversy grabs the limelight.
The Uncapped Talent:
In this edition of the tournament, uncapped players are getting chances. That is a very good sign for the cricket world. In this tournament, they can learn a lot of things. PBKS’s newest purchase, Shashank Singh was in the SRH camp in IPL 2022. This middle-order batter is a great asset for the team. In the Vijay Hazare Trophy of 2023, he scored 359 runs. His all-round ability can be an asset to the team. This versatile player will help the franchise to perform better.
Other than him, the franchise bought a few other players at the base price. Tanay Thyagarajann, Vishwanath Pratap Singh, Ashutosh Singh, and some other players bought at a base price of 20 Lakh.
