#1. Umesh Yadav, India
Despite a lacklustre performance in IPL 2023, releasing Umesh Yadav ahead of the IPL 2024 auction might prove to be a premature decision for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Post-IPL 2023, Yadav’s remarkable resurgence in domestic tournaments, securing 27 wickets in 18 innings, underscores his regained form and match-winning potential.
His ability to bounce back, coupled with the experience he brings to the table, suggests that KKR may have overlooked his recent impressive performances. As the auction looms, the franchise might part ways with Yadav, as his recent domestic success could translate into a valuable asset for the team in the upcoming IPL season.
