5. Ripal Patel 

Ripal Patel was picked by Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL auction ahead of the 2021 season. He made his debut in the IPL, against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). He played for DC for two years and he has been released by the franchise once again. Several teams can go for him as the middle-order batter has a good strike rate while batting in first-class cricket he has a strike rate of 145.11. He can go big under the hammer as several teams would like to invest in the batter. 

4. Priyam Garg

They ended as runners-up against Bangladesh. In the 2022 auction, he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The batter was picked by DC and he played only two games for the franchise in the previous edition. 

3. Kartik Tyagi

Kartik Tyagi was a key member of India’s Under 19 World Cup 2020. He picked up 11 wickets in the tournament. The pacer was picked by Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 2020 edition. He came into the light when the bowler defended four runs in the last over against Punjab Kings (PBKS). Tyagi conceded just one run in that over winning the game for his side. He was picked by the SRH  in the auction for 2022 and was released ahead of the 2024 auction as well. But the pacer can go for big money in the auction. 

2. Hrithik Shokeen

Hrithik Shokeen, the young off-spinner was picked up by Mumbai Indians (MI) for his base price of 20 lakhs. He impressed everyone with his brilliant bowling for India U19. The 23-year-old spinner was picked to boost MI's spin bowling department but he failed to do so. He picked up only five wickets at a poor economy of 9.23 and an average of 62.8. But he is still young and several teams can invest in him. 

1. Shahrukh Khan

He has played in 33 matches scoring 737 and has a decent batting average of 43.35. He was bought by PBKS in the 2021 auction.
