The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Auction is ready to be held in Dubai on 19 December. Ahead of the IPL 2024 Auction, teams released players to increase their purses and buy new players on their side. But, this could be a risky move as there are chances that they would come out of the auction disappointed. Let us look at five players who have been released by their respective teams but have the potential to perform in the upcoming IPL season.
Player | Team |
Josh Hazlewood | Royal Challengers Bangalore |
Wanindu Hasaranga | Royal Challengers Bangalore |
Shahrukh Khan | Punjab Kings |
Harshal Patel | Royal Challengers Bangalore |
Manish Pandey | Sunrisers Hyderabad |
Josh Hazlewood
Josh Hazlewood has registered himself for the IPL 2024 Auction. It was rumored that RCB had left him because he would not participate in the next IPL season. But, now that he has registered himself, it is difficult to understand why Josh was let go.
Wanindu Hasaranga
Wanindu Hasaranga is a quality spinner and has a wicket-taking ability. He was removed from RCB whom they had paid 10.75 crore in the last IPL auction. Considering that RCB does not have skillful bowlers on their side, the decision to release the Sri Lankan bowler could haunt them.
Shahrukh Khan
Punjab Kings did not show patience with India’s talent. Shahrukh Khan have been an effective add to their side if they had used him properly. Shahrukh has the all-round skill and hitting ability.
Harshal Patel
RCB had another shocking release of Harshal Patel. RCB removed most of their wicket-taking bowlers ahead of the IPL 2024 Auction. The management would be thinking of building their bowling lineup in the auction but what if they fail to buy any?
Manish Pandey
Sunrisers Hyderabad has one weakling and that is their batting. But still, they risked releasing Manish Pandey who has decent numbers in IPL.
