IPL Auction 2024: Uncapped Indian Gems Set to Spark Bidding Wars

The cricketing world awaits to see which teams recognize and capitalize on the untapped potential of these uncapped gems.

As the IPL 2024 auction approaches, teams are gearing up for strategic acquisitions to fortify their squads. While most franchises have established their core teams, the emphasis on Indian players remains crucial due to the league’s requirement of a minimum of seven local players in the playing XI. This auction, even though not a mega-event, presents an opportune time for uncapped players to shine and secure lucrative deals based on their recent performances.

Here, we take a closer look at five uncapped Indian players who could see significant bids in the upcoming auction:

1. Shahrukh Khan

Shahrukh Khan from Tamil Nadu has carved his own identity as a formidable power-hitter. Standing at six feet six inches, the 28-year-old boasts an impressive strike rate of 133.52 with 57 sixes in 70 T20 innings. Having played for Punjab Kings in the last three seasons, Shahrukh’s base price of INR 20 lakh might spark a bidding war, especially considering his potential and recent form in domestic tournaments.

2. Hrithik Shokeen

Hrithik Shokeen, a former India Under-19 international, brings an all-round package to the table. Known for his off-break bowling, fearless batting, and livewire fielding, Shokeen’s release by Mumbai Indians might become an opportunity for other franchises. A feisty competitor with age on his side, Shokeen’s base price of INR 20 lakh positions him as an intriguing choice for teams looking to bolster their spin department.

3. Vivrant Sharma

Left-handed batsman Vivrant Sharma finds himself in the spotlight after being surprisingly released by Sunrisers Hyderabad. Despite a limited outing in IPL 2023, Sharma’s notable knock of 69 off 47 deliveries against Mumbai Indians showcased his finishing skills. A rare Indian finisher in the T20 format, Sharma’s base price of INR 20 lakh makes him an attractive prospect for teams in need of a dynamic middle-order batsman.

4. Kartik Tyagi

Kartik Tyagi, one of the prime movers behind India’s U-19 World Cup campaign in 2020, is eager to fulfill his potential in the IPL. Known for his raw pace, Tyagi’s journey has seen occasional brilliance, making him a player with untapped potential. At 23, he remains an exciting prospect, and franchises might look to invest in his promise as he enters the auction with a base price of INR 20 lakh.

5. Sumit Kumar

Sumit Kumar, a late bloomer in domestic cricket, offers a unique blend of power-hitting and brisk medium-pace bowling. A journeyman who has excelled in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Sumit’s versatility makes him a valuable asset. Despite being surplus to IPL requirements in the past, the 28-year-old’s recent performances suggest he could be an excellent addition to teams seeking an all-round contributor.
