There will be a number of high-profile auctions, with several of them predicted to bring in large sums of money.
With every side claiming a bankroll of Rs. 100 crore, the record for the most costly purchase in IPL history could be shattered.
These are the main things to be cautious of.
Location, time, and broadcast information
The main event will take place at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. As previously stated, this will be the first IPL auction to take place outside of India.
The live coverage of the auction, which is set for December 19, will begin at 1:00 pm IST.
The IPl 2024 Auction will be televised by Star Sports, and viewers can watch the live event on the Jio Cinema app or website.
What number of athletes signed up for the IPL 2024 Auction?
For the IPL 2024 Auction, 333 players have enrolled in total. There are 214 Indian players on the entire list, and 119 international cricket players have registered to be auctioned off.
A total of 116 players have caps. Two players are from associate nations out of the 215 uncapped players.
There are 77 seats in all, 30 of which are reserved for players from other countries.
An examination of the remaining purses for IPL teams
With a purse of Rs. 38.15 crore, the Gujarat Titans hold the largest position ahead of the IPL 2024 auction.
The Lucknow Super Giants are currently valued at Rs. 13.15 crore.
The following teams’ purses: RR (Rs. 14.5 crore), KKR (Rs. 32.70 crore), PBKS (Rs. 29.10 crore), SRH (Rs. 34 crore), RCB (Rs. 23.25), CSK (Rs. 31.4 crore), and DC (Rs. 28.95 crore).
RCB and CSK will look for pacers.
After releasing a number of its pacers, CSK may target players like Josh Hazlewood or Gerald Coetzee.
In addition, they might prefer someone like Daryl Mitchell to take Ambati Rayudu and Ben Stokes’ place in the middle and offer additional choices.
RCB wants to restructure their pace-bowling division. They may consider bringing Mitchell Starc back on board.
DC and PBKS would go after winners
Shahrukh was freed, so PBKS needs some strong finishers in their lineup. They may target people like Harry Brook, Michael Bracewell, and Daryl Mitchell.
In light of their budget, DC will try to spend prudently. For them, bolstering the lower-middle order will be crucial.
They would look for finishers, just like PBKS. They may also aim for Mitchell, Bracwell, Brook, Shahrukh, and Mitchell.
