Player who might attract high bids during IPL 2024 auction
5. Manish Pandey
The former India player has played for several IPL teams such as Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians, Pune Warriors Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Lucknow Super Giants, and Delhi Capitals. The 2020 finalists, Capitals have released Pandey ahead of the 2024 auction. Some of the teams are looking for a middle-order option and despite his inconsistent performances, he might attract high bids.
4. Jaydev Unadkat
The left-arm pacer has vast experience of playing in the league but hasn't tasted much of success. Apart from being one of the leading wicket-takers for now defunct Rising Pune Supergiant, he has been battered by the opposition batters. Despite this, he still managed to get into any team, given his wonderful First Class Record and ability to bowl with variety in the shortest format.
3. Karun Nair
The discarded India Test batter was named as KL Rahul's replacement last season. Now, that Rahul is fit and looks likely to play for the Lucknow Super Giants in the upcoming season, Nair has been released. Some teams such as Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, etc. are looking for a stable middle-order player (an Indian will be a bonus). Teams will look to go after him.
2. Shahbaz Nadeem
The left-arm spinner has been released by Sunrisers Hyderabad. Notably, he has a decent record with 48 wickets in 71 games. Nadeem has gotten to play the most in seasons 2012, 2013, and 2014. Given his ability to break partnerships in the middle-overs, teams would like to go for him.
1. Srikar Bharat
The wicketkeeper batter has been keeping the wickets for the Indian Test side these days as Rishabh Pant continues to be ruled out of the game. Meanwhile, talking about his IPL career, he has played for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals, and Gujarat Titans (last season). He has been released given his keeping skills (excuse his wicketkeeping down the leg-side), Bharat might attract a small but a bidding war nonetheless.
