Rovman Powell enjoyed a successful season in 2022 but was limited to playing in only three games in 2023 as the Capitals had a dismal season. As franchises look to fill gaps in the IPL 2024 Auction, Powell might be a solid match for several of them. With his ability to finish strong and his powerful ball-striking ability, he should be in great demand.

Steve Smith batted in the top and middle order for the Delhi Capitals during his final IPL 2021 game. He did not sign up for the mini-auction before to IPL 2023 and was unsold in IPL 2022. Still, the 2023 ODI World Cup champion is a formidable force, and his extensive IPL experience will add a tonne of firepower to the batting order. Teams that would like to add some experience in their middle-order might look at the right-handed batter.
2) Harry Brook

Harry Brook, the member of England’s 2022 T20 World Cup winning team, bats in a way that perfectly complements England’s aggressive method of play. Because of his consistent run-scoring ability for England, SRH was able to purchase him for a whopping ?13.25 crore at the IPL 2023 auctions. Even though Brook scored a thrilling hundred at Eden Gardens, his form declined as the competition progressed. The Sunrisers then decided to cut him out for the following campaign. But considering his indisputable skill, many teams would be thinking about the possibility of a more affordable price for Brook at the auction.

Travis Head participated in 10 IPL seasons with Royal Challengers Bangalore, making ten appearances and managing just one fifty. But since then, a lot has happened, and Head has become a terrific all-around player. Teams will be eager to bring the Australian all-rounder into their lineup, since he is available for a basic salary of Rs 2 crore. Owing to his recent performance, assertiveness, and flexibility in many situations, particularly in India, he presents a compelling case for what may be the highest price in this auction.
