IPL 2024 Auction: Five Indian cricketers who could be in big demand
The IPL 2024 Player Auction takes place in Dubai on 19 December. One of the main focus will be on Indian cricketers who could be in huge demand among franchises
Some top Indian players like Shardul Thakur were released by their franchises and are set to go under the hammer in Dubai
Ahead of the auction, we take a look at five players who could be in big demand
Shah Rukh Khan had made a name for himself at Punjab Kings in the IPL but was released by the franchise before the auction. SRK still could be in demand given the finishing prowess he possesses
Harshal Patel was released by RCB after a below-par IPL 2023, but for teams eyeing a death overs specialist, Harshal might be the go-to man
Shardul Thakur was released by KKR ahead of the auction but given his IPL experience, franchises looking for an extra all-rounder option might go for him
Chetan Sakariya might have endured limited roles in the past two IPL seasons, but his left-arm seam could come in as good help for teams like RCB and GT
Kartik Tyagi might not have had fruitful seasons over the last few years, but the right-arm pacer is expected to make franchises fight to acquire him
