Openers: Rachin Ravindra (INR 1.80 Cr), Travis Head (INR 6.8 Cr) It was Chennai Super Kings, who picked up Rachin Ravindra in the IPL 2024 auction after he delivered exceptional performances for New Zealand at the international level, becoming one of the rising young stars in cricket. Travis Head has been one of the most consistent performers in all formats in the past year or so, and his contributions in winning ICC trophies for Australia swayed Sunrisers Hyderabad to bring him into their squad. #PAGE_BREAK# Batters: Daryl Mitchell (INR 14 Cr), Rovman Powell (INR 7.4 Cr), Tristan Stubbs (wk) (INR 50 L) Over the last couple of years, Daryl Mitchell has been scoring runs for fun in all formats, and finally, he is set to play in the IPL with the Chennai Super Kings, who recognised the value of him in their squad. Rovman Powell, one of the most powerful strikers of the ball in world cricket, has grown into his role of leading the West Indies in the T20I format, which led to Rajasthan Royals shelling out a lot of money to sign him for the IPL 2024 season. After getting a handful of opportunities to play for Mumbai Indians last season, Tristan Stubbs, the South African wicket-keeper batter, is now set to resume his IPL career with Delhi Capitals. #PAGE_BREAK# All-rounders: Shahrukh Khan (INR 7.40 Cr), Mohammad Nabi (INR 1.50 Cr), Wanindu Hasaranga (INR 1.50 Cr) Punjab Kings let go of Shahrukh Khan in a massive surprise after he had a decent IPL season with them last year, and it has led to Gujarat Titans snaffling him up on a big money contract. Mumbai Indians took the punt on the former Afghanistan captain, Mohammad Nabi, who is a world travelled T20 star for the majority of his illustrious cricketing career after he missed out on the IPL last season. Wanindu Hasaranga, who missed out on playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore for majority of the last season, was let go, and then, their near rivals Sunrisers Hyderabad signed him in the IPL 2024 auction. #PAGE_BREAK# Bowlers: Shardul Thakur (INR 4 Cr), Pat Cummins (c) (INR 20.50 Cr), Mitchell Starc (INR 24.75 Cr) Shardul Thakur was signed by Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2024 auction after Kolkata Knight Riders didn’t retain him because of below par performances last season. Pat Cummins, the Australian captain, who led his team to multiple ICC trophies recently, got a blockbuster deal of ₹20.50 Crore from Sunrisers Hyderabad on his return to the IPL, and he is now named as the new captain of the franchise too. Mitchell Starc will make his triumphant return to the IPL after opting out of the tournament for nearly a decade, becoming the highest paid player in the history of the league in the process, thanks to Kolkata Knight Riders spending ₹24.75 Crore on him. #PAGE_BREAK# Impact Substitute: Arshin Kulkarni (INR 20 L) Arshin Kulkarni, 19, is one of the brightest, youngest prospects in Indian cricket, who got picked by Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2024 auction. The all-rounder recently donned the Indian jersey in the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup, playing a key role in helping the national team reach the final of the tournament.
