IPL 2024 Auction: 5 players who can be the biggest picks in this mini-auction

Travis Head, Australia

Travis Head has recently announced his interest in taking part of IPL 2024. Head had played in 10 matches in the IPL back in 2016 and 2017 for RCB, but he has been absent from the tournament since then.  However, with his recent performances, he can add much more value to any team, either as an opener or as a finisher.

Rachin Ravindra, New Zealand

The 24-year-old Kiwi had a terrific ODI World Cup 2023 campaign. He is expected to start a battle on the auction table among the franchises. He had enjoyed a brilliant run in his debut CWC, scoring 578 runs, the most for any New Zealand player in the World Cup with three centuries under his belt.

Josh Hazlewood, Australia

Hazlewood has played 27 matches with 35 wickets under his belt in his IPL career, with an economy rate of 8.06. He can be a great addition to a team that needs a fast bowler. He can cause trouble not just with the new ball but also at the death with his line and length.  

Wanindu Hasaranga, Sri Lanka

RCB released their Sri Lankan spinner, Hasaranga, from the squad. Hasaranga has picked up nine wickets in eight matches for RCB in the IPL 2023. He also played an integral role for the national side in their qualification for the ODI World Cup 2023. However, due to injuries, he missed the campaign. But, he can be a great addition to a team that needs some strength in their spin attack. 

Mitchell Starc, Australia

The left-handed Australian pacer will make his return to the IPL after eight years. He can be a menace with the new ball for any opposition and also in the death. Starc has 34 wickets under his belt in 26 innings in his IPL career. His wicket-taking ability is no surprise to anyone in the world. He can be a great assist to any team.
