Hosting JioCinema's daily sports show '#AAKASHVANI', Aakash Chopra predicted his top five buys at the IPL 2024 Player Auction to be held in Dubai on Tuesday. His first pick was Australia's experienced pacer Mitchell Starc. Chopra had previously picked the veteran to walk away with a hefty price tag. "Teams may spend Rs 10-12 crore on him provided they have already spoken to him and sought assurance that he will not leave the IPL 2024 mid-way. The only thing that goes against him is that he leaves the tournament mid-way or does not turn up at all," Chopra said.
