Live updates from the IPL Mega Auction 2024 are streaming in, revealing the player pool and team dynamics for the upcoming Indian Premier League.
The three Indian capped players with the highest base price of Rs 2 crore include seamers Harshal Patel, Shardul Thakur, and veteran pacer Umesh Yadav. Notably, Harshal Patel had fetched Rs 10.75 crore in a previous auction after an outstanding IPL season that earned him a spot in the national team.
The IPL Governing Council initially provided franchises with a list of 1166 players, which was later narrowed down to 333 after considering the wish-lists from all teams.
Of these, 214 are Indian players, 119 are overseas, and two hail from associate nations. The total spending limit for the 10 franchises collectively is set at Rs 262.95 crore.
Out of the 77 available slots, 30 are reserved for overseas players, and Australians, including Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Jos Inglis, and Mitchell Starc, all in the Rs 2 crore category, are expected to be sought after. Keep an eye on New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra, with a base price of Rs 50 lakh, and South African players like Gerald Coetzee and Rassie van der Dussen, who could attract attention.

England’s Tom-Kohler Cadmore, a relatively unknown keeper-batsman with a base price of Rs 40 lakh, is anticipated to generate interest due to his reputation for big-hitting across various leagues. Notable players like Wanindu Hasaranga (base price Rs 1.5 crore) and Dilshan Madushanka, a standout from the World Cup, are back in the auction pool and may receive substantial bids.
Several familiar faces like Shivam Mavi, Kartik Tyagi, and the often-injured Kamlesh Nagarkoti, young pacers who build their careers from one IPL season to another, are priced between Rs 20 to Rs 30 lakh.
