IPL 2024 Auction: 3 Best Bargain Players Teams Can Go for This IPL Season
The IPL auction 2024 will take place on December 19 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai.
As the stage is set for the mini-auction of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL auction 2024), teams and franchises are looking to finalise their targeted lists. As all ten teams have the potential to rope in about 80 players through the auction, each and every team will be keen to get everything right.
However, some of the teams with low budgets might be looking for some bargain buys. Teams like the Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals have to get some crucial players on a very low budget. It’s worth noting that the auctions will take place on December 19 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. So, here are the top 3 players who might be a bargain buy in the IPL Auction 2024.
#3. Hrithik Shokeen
Young Indian spinner Hrithik Shokeen has been released by the Mumbai Indians ahead of the auctions. He has been phenomenal in recent years and might be one of the best budget picks for teams looking for a quality spin bowling option. Shokeen has taken three wickets in two games in the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
However, he had a poor outing in the last season of the Indian Premier League. He took just three wickets in eight innings. As an uncapped Indian player, Hrithik might be available at a cheap price.
#2. Keshav Maharaj
After his amazing all-round performance in the recently concluded ODI World Cup 2023, Keshav Maharaj will surely get a good price in the upcoming IPL auction in 2024. However, he might be a cheap buy for some teams, as most of the franchises look for Indian spin options.
Keshav, being a handy batter and a quality spin bowler, might attract some quick and good bids. It’s worth noting that he has taken 15 wickets in 10 matches in the ODI World Cup. He also scored 59 runs in six innings, including a match-winning knock against Pakistan.
#1. Dilshan Madhusanka
Star Sri Lanka pacer Dilshan Madhusanka will also be available for bid in the IPL auction in 2024. He has been phenomenal for Sri Lanka in the recently concluded ODI World Cup 2023. Madhusanka took 21 wickets in nine games at a strike rate of 22.00.
However, Madhushanka might be a steal for some teams. As players like Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazelwood, and Umesh Yadav will attract a great deal from teams, Madhushanka might be a steal.
