As the cricketing world eagerly awaits the IPL 2024 auction, the spotlight is on World Cup-winning stalwarts Travis Head, Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc. These marquee players are set to dominate the bidding war in their respective categories—capped batters, allrounders, and bowlers—when the auction kicks off in Dubai on December 19.
Star-Studded Auction Pool
From an initial pool of 1166 players, the final list has been curated to 333, with 119 overseas players, adding an international flavor to the auction. Notable names among the capped players include Shardul Thakur, Harshal Patel, Manish Pandey, and Umesh Yadav.
The auction will commence with capped players, beginning with batters, followed by all-rounders, wicketkeepers, fast bowlers, and spinners. This sequence will also be mirrored for the uncapped players, creating an organized and exciting bidding process.
Travis Head’s Potential Comeback
Travis Head, absent from the IPL for six seasons, is expected to make a strong comeback after his stellar performances in the recently concluded World Cup. The Player of the Match in both the semi-finals and finals, Head’s batting prowess and recent success might spark a bidding war among franchises eager to secure his services.
Another standout from the World Cup, Afghanistan’s Azmatullah Omarzai, a seam-bowling allrounder, enters the auction with a base price of INR 50 lakh. His remarkable all-around performances in the World Cup make him a potential game-changer for any IPL team. Additionally, the shortlist includes the youngest player, 16-year-old mystery spinner Allah Ghazanfar from Afghanistan, and the oldest, 39-year-old Mohammad Nabi.
Richest Franchises and Live Audience
Gujarat Titans, last season’s runners-up, enter the auction with the largest purse of INR 38.15 crore, followed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (34 crores) and Kolkata Knight Riders (32.7 crores). The auction marks a historic moment as it is being held overseas for the first time, in Dubai. Adding to the excitement, the event will feature a live audience, a first in IPL auction history.
With World Cup heroes and emerging talents up for grabs, the IPL 2024 auction promises to be a riveting spectacle. Stay tuned for updates on the high-stakes bidding and the formation of star-studded squads gearing up for the upcoming season of India’s premier T20 league.
