IPL 2024 Auction: After the successful culmination of Women’s Premier League Auction in Mumbai on December 9, the bidding war now shifts to the city of Dubai. As the IPL 2024 auction date of December 19 approaches, the list of potential cricket superstars up for bidding has been narrowed down to 333 players from the initial pool of 1166 players.
The World Cup performances will be key for the overseas players to be picked up while the Indians, especially the uncapped players will hope that their outings in the domestic competitions Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare did the trick.
World Cup winners Travis Head, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, all likely to attract big bucks, are among the first sets of players in their respective categories (capped batters, allrounders and bowlers, respectively) who will be up for bidding at the IPL 2024 auction that will be held in Dubai on December 19. Also among the allrounders list is the World Cup’s breakout star Rachin Ravindra, who has listed his base price at INR 50 lakh.
