Top 5 steals in IPL auctions 2024

IPL auctions are a curious case of uncertainties, where few players get a big lot of cash but some anticipated names cannot even find a buyer. This IPL auction was also on similar lines where we saw a few names breaking records and some going unnoticed. In this article, we will take a look at the top 5 steals in the mini auction. 

1. Gerald Coetzee

The leading wicket-taker for South Africa in the ODI World Cup Gerald Coetzee was bought by Mumbai Indians for 5 crores. This was undoubtedly a steal buy considering the other purchases who went slightly overboard. Gerald Coetzee perfectly suits the Mumbai Indians’ ethos of ruthlessness which is pretty evident from Coetzee’s attitude on the cricket field.

2. Azmatullah Omarzai

Azmatullah Omarzai is another player who has gone for a low-price tag even after showing glimpses of brilliance in the ODI World Cup. He is a supremely talented all-rounder who can bowl with the new ball at a considerable pace and swing his bat in the lower middle order. Gujarat Titans have included him for 50 lakhs which makes it one of the best steal deals. 

3. Wanindu Hasaranga

The Sri Lankan leg-spin all-rounder has found his place in the Sunrisers Hyderabad’s camp for the 2024 IPL. SRH bought him for 1.50 crores which is a great purchase as the Sri Lankan can add value with his leg-spin bowling and batting efforts in the lower middle order. He has recovered from his injury layoff and SRH will greatly benefit from Sri Lankan’s skillsets. 

4. Lockie Ferguson

The Kiwi fast-bowler will find support from loyal RCB fans as he has been included by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the squad for 2 crores. It is a great inclusion as Ferguson is an asset in death overs and his pace will be an X-factor for the 3-time finalists. 

5. Rachin Ravindra

Another Kiwi sensation who has been sold for a relatively low price. Ravindra had a phenomenal campaign with the bat in the 2023 ODI World Cup and impressed everyone with his batting exploits. Chennai Super Kings have shown faith in the Kiwi wonder boy who has been sold for 1.8 crores.
