IPL 2024: Indian Premier League 2024 is historic in the sense that the two most expensive players in the history of the league are playing in this season. In the auction of the 17th season, SRH had created a record by buying Pat Cummins for Rs 20.50 crore. KKR broke that record within a few minutes by buying Mitchell Starc for Rs 24.75 crore.
Virat Kohli reached Mumbai from Kolkata overnight, you will be stunned to know the reason!
Apart from these, crores of rupees were also showered on players like Sameer Rizvi, Kumar Kushagra, Daryl Mitchell, and Harshal Patel. But when it comes to performance, all these players look lackluster. The explosion is being made by those young players who were bought by the teams at very low prices.
KKR: IPL 2024
- In the IPL 2024 auction, KKR bought Mitchell Starc for Rs 24.75 crore with great expectations.
- This Australian strike bowler has not been able to perform well in the first 7 matches of the season.
- The young players who are performing brilliantly for KKR this season are Harshit Rana, Ramandeep Singh and Angkrish Raghuvanshi.
- These three were bought by KKR for 20 lakhs. Rana has taken 9 wickets in 6 matches. Angkrish had played an innings of 54 runs in 27 balls in his debut match itself.
- Against RCB, Ramandeep played a big role in helping the team win by scoring unbeaten 24 runs in 9 balls.
Punjab Kings: IPL 2024
- There are many players in Punjab Kings who have been sold for crores of rupees but their performance has been very ordinary.
- This is the reason why Punjab Kings have been able to win only 2 matches in the first 8 matches of the season.
- But two players of this team have impressed a lot with their fearless batting in this season (IPL 2024). These players sold for Rs 20 lakh each are Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma.
- Shashank has scored 195 runs in 8 matches at a strike rate of 168 while Ashutosh Sharma has scored 159 runs in 5 matches at a strike rate of 189.
- Both of them bat in the lower order. If they had batted in the top order, these figures would have been even better.
LSG: IPL 2024
- The young player who has attracted everyone’s attention with his performance in IPL 2024 is LSG fast bowler Mayank Yadav.
- Mayank Yadav, who bowled the fastest ball (156.7) of IPL 2024, had included his name among the probables for World Cup 2024 with his performance.
- Mayank, who joined LSG for just Rs 20 lakh, was the player of the match in his first two matches. In these two matches, he took 6 wickets and also impressed the whole world with his stormy bowling.
- In the third match, he could bowl only one over and got injured. It remains to be seen whether he is able to make a comeback in this season or not.
- It is certain that if LSG releases him then he will be under watch in the mega auction to be held next year.
