England batter Harry Brook and Australia's World Cup hero Travis Head have been placed in the top bracket of Rs 2 crore for the upcoming IPL 2024 auction
Australia's veteran batter Steve Smith headlined the first set of batters to go under the gavel in the IPL 2024 auction.
Despite being merely a one-day event, as opposed to the two-day mega auction held every four years, mini-auctions have produced some of the most costly deals, particularly in the category of overseas players. Sam Curran became the most expensive player in IPL history when he was purchased by Punjab for INR 18.5 crore in December last year, ahead of the 2023 season.
Renowned overseas players, including Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc, Australia captain Pat Cummins and pacer Josh Hazlewood, India pacer Harshal Patel, Shardul Thakur, England bowler Chris Woakes, Josh Inglis, New Zealand bowler Lockie Ferguson, Umesh Yadav, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Adil Rashid, Rassie Van der Dussen, James Vince, Sean Abbott, Jamie Overton, Ben Duckett and Mustafizur Rahman have been added in the highest reserve price list for IPL 2024.
New Zealand batter Rachin Ravindra, Cummins, South Africa pacer Gerald Coetzee and Shardul Thakur will feature in the second set while Australia bowler Mitchell Starc has been listed in the fourth set.
Seven Australians, including 2023 World Cup hero Travis Head, have a starting bid of INR 2 crore.
The ten IPL franchises have had until November 15 to submit their list of retained and released players.
