#3. Josh Hazelwood
Despite a stellar performance in the 2023 World Cup, Josh Hazlewood is omitted from RCB’s retention list. His pivotal role in Australia’s triumphant campaign, securing 16 wickets in 11 games with an economy of 4.81, positions him as a coveted asset for IPL 2024. As a former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) mainstay, Hazlewood’s impressive record of 35 wickets in 27 games at an economy of 8.06 enhances his appeal.
With the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) seeking to fortify their pace attack, Hazlewood emerges as a prime target, potentially filling the void left by released players. Teams like RCB and KKR may vie for Hazlewood’s services, anticipating his impactful contributions in the upcoming IPL season.
