Ahead of the IPL auction, India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin shared insights on potential strategies for the IPL 2024 auction. International stars like Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes have been released, and notable Indian players, including Shardul Thakur, are also up for grabs. The auction, scheduled for December 19 in Dubai, promises excitement as the 10 franchises look to shape their final squads.
In his pre-auction analysis, Ashwin focused on the batting talent, singling out power-hitter Shahrukh Khan as a player likely to spark a bidding war. “I foresee a bidding war between CSK and Gujarat for Shahrukh Khan,” expressed Ravichandran Ashwin on his YouTube channel. Ashwin suggested that CSK might be willing to forego Mitchell Starc to secure Shahrukh Khan, emphasizing the importance of having a local player or a strong presence.
As the anticipation builds for the IPL 2024 auction, fans and experts alike are eager to witness the outcome of potential bidding wars and the formation of formidable squads by the franchises. The cricketing world awaits the unfolding drama in Dubai on December 19.
