🏏 IPL 2024 Player Auction: In Dubai on 19/12/2023 at 1:00 PM IST🏏 - Page 4

Thank you Raji for the thread and for tagging me.

Great thread with all information.

We are all inquisitive to know who will carry the heaviest purse home!!

Many Australian players are in the limelight because of the world cup success.

Punjab Kings Wishlist

The slot vacated by Shahrukh Khan’s release will be on top of the agenda for Punjab Kings. Can it go for an Indian all-rounder who can finish the games effectively? And then make up its squad with quality back-ups from the domestic circuit?

Lucknow Super Giants Wishlist

Mark Wood is set to be available for the entire duration of the IPL. Still, should England pull him midway through the season to prepare for the T20 World Cup, the new management under Justin Langer will be eyeing a strong back-up. Entering the auction with the smallest purse, can it create viable back-ups?

Royal Challengers Bangalore Wishlist

It has at least three slots to fill in the starting XI. A finisher - preferably an all-rounder, a pacer and a pacer. At least one of them has to be an overseas buy. Can it get its act right this time around, at least on the auction table?

Gujarat Titans Wishlist

It’s a given that it will target a big-ticket all-rounder to maintain the balance of the team. Who will it be? In fact, the ball will be in GT’s court considering it has the largest purse available. Besides an all-rounder, it will also be on a hunt for an overseas pacer who can combine with Mohammed Shami.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Wishlist

Despite finishing at the bottom of the points table, SRH has retained its core. It will be eyeing an explosive opener and a quality pacer who can combine effectively with veteran Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Rajasthan Royals Wishlist

Kumar Sangakkara and his think-tank will have their eyes set on two big catches: a reliable middle-order bat and an all-rounder. One of them can be an overseas buy. But with a tight purse, it will be interesting to see who it will opt for.

Kolkata Knight Riders Wishlist

Having released a whopping 12 players, including six pacers, KKR’s could be the busiest table at the auction. Besides adding a barrage of pacers, the franchise will also be hoping for a reliable back-up wicketkeeper to Rahmanullah Gurbaz.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 17:07
Mumbai Indians Wishlist

The franchise that’s been the talk of the town ever since that famous transfer may have given its team balance a huge fillip with Hardik Pandya’s homecoming. But the franchise will have limited budget to add a quality pacer to reduce the pressure on Jasprit Bumrah.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 17:03
Chennai Super Kings Wishlist

Its starting XI, except retired Ambati Rayudu, is already in place. So, CSK, with its sizable purse, may end up playing spoilsport for a couple of other franchises. Besides, the franchise will be keen on having strong back-ups in place for injury-prone Matheesha Pathirana and Moeen Ali. Not to mention its quest for a finisher once MS Dhoni hangs up his boots. Shahrukh Khan calling?

IPL 2024 auction will have two different broadcasters, with Star Sports set to air the event on TV while Jio Cinema have the live-streaming rights online.

Franchises are coming into the bidding war with lots of cash in their purse. Chennai Super Kings (Rs 3 1.4 crores), Mumbai Indians (Rs17.75 crores), Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rs 23.25 crore), Kolkata Knight Riders (Rs 32.7 crores), Gujarat Titans (Rs 38.15 crores), Sunrisers Hyderabad (Rs 34 crores), Delhi Capitals (Rs 28.95 crores), Punjab Kings ( Rs 29.1 crores), Lucknow Super Giants (Rs 13.15 crore) and Rajasthan Royals (Rs 14.5 crores) will spend their remaining amount to fill their last slots in their squad.

Rishabh Pant may join the auction.

They r going to allow spectators to witness the auction.

And Maalika Sagar is the auctioneer today I guess.

Rachin Ravindra, Coetzee, Starc and Cummins may fetch a large amount i guess.

Wooohooo!!! IPL auction time!

Thanks for the tag Raji!
