Three Players who can break Sam Curran’s 18.5 crore record in coming IPL 2024 auction

3. Travis Head

Australian opener Travis Head is in the form of his life. That’s what he showed in the finals of the WTC 2023 and the World Cup 2023. He struck two brilliant hundreds in two finals and took his team to glory. Head is an attacking opener, and if one player does well against India, his stocks skyrocket. He is registered at a base price of INR 2 crore and can become one of the most expensive players at the IPL 2024 auction.

2. Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc will be back at the IPL auction after more than five years. He is registered with a base price of INR 2 crore. The left-arm pacer is one of the best in modern cricket across formats and showed that he still has a lot of skillset during the World Cup 2023. Some teams, including RCB, need a fierce bowler to lead their bowling attack, and Starc is one of them. Hence, he can go for a record-breaking price.

1. Pat Cummins

Pat Cummins got a deal worth INR 15.5 crore from the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2021 season when they played the final. The Australian captain skipped the 2023 edition and will be back in the IPL. He has everything he can create a bidding war for him. He is a brilliant pacer and has hit the joint-second-fastest fifty to go with. Cummins can be a hot prospect at the IPL 2024 auction.
