New Zealand batsman Rachin Ravindra is expected to be on everyone’s list in the upcoming IPL 2024 auction.
After the Cricket World Cup, the focus will be on the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, which will take place in Dubai on December 19, once the ongoing ODI World Cup concludes. Many foreign players are hoping to bag a lucrative deal in the IPL 2024 auction after some good performances in the ODI World Cup. There will be a small auction. For the IPL 2024 auction, each team’s purse has increased substantially, rising from Rs 95 million in the previous auction to Rs 100 million. Which new names have the potential to win big in the auction process?
Rachin Ravindra (New Zealand)
Rachin Ravindra has been in excellent form for the Kiwis at the World Cup. Rachin Ravindra is currently in the third place for most runs in the World Cup. The left-handed batsman has amassed 523 runs in eight innings at an excellent average of 74. 71. He is playing with a strike rate of 107 and will be a batsman to watch out for in the upcoming IPL auction.
Kusal Mendis (Sri Lanka)
Sri Lanka’s stand-in captain Kusal Mendis has been in top form. Despite his recent failures, Mendis has given several fast starts for Sri Lanka in the World Cup and could be picked in the upcoming IPL auction.
Bas de Leede (Netherlands)
Dutch all-rounder Bas de Leede is a bright prospect. Leede has performed decently with both bat and ball in the World Cup. Leede can be picked by at least one of the IPL franchises including Kolkata Knight Riders or Sunrisers Hyderabad who lack good pace all-round.
4. Dilshan Madhushanka (Sri Lanka)
Dilshan Madhushanka has been in phenomenal form in the ODI World Cup. The left-arm pacer is among the top wicket-takers with 21 scalps to his name in eight matches. The 21 wickets include a four-wicket course and a fife.
With the left-arm angle of him, the Lankan pacer could be in business in the upcoming IPL auction.
5. Dunith Wellalage (Sri Lanka)
Dunith Wellalage impressed everyone during the Asia Cup. The left-arm spinner has the ability to pick up crucial wickets and in Indian conditions, he will get help and therefore could be a great addition for the franchises. The Lankan cricketer could get a good deal.
