Strongest Unsold XI of IPL 2024 – This Team Can Beat MI & CSK

Despite the auction excitement, a considerable number of cricketers remained unsold. Nevertheless, these unsold players collectively constitute a formidable XI capable of challenging any team in the tournament.

The IPL 2024 auction, hosted in Dubai, showcased intense bidding wars for over 300 players, resulting in 72 cricketers securing new team affiliations. Australian stars Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc stood out with staggering deals—Cummins bagging INR 20.50 crore with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), and Starc securing a lucrative contract of INR 24.75 crore with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Franchises exhibited robust financial prowess by investing heavily in a mix of domestic and international talents, creating a record-breaking auction. Harshal Patel emerged as the highest-earning Indian player, set to join Punjab Kings (PBKS) with an impressive INR 11.75 crore. Uncapped talent Sameer Rizvi made waves with an INR 8.40 crore deal with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), while Shahrukh Khan became a prized addition for Gujarat Titans (GT) at INR 7.40 crore.
