He has played a lot of his cricket with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and has also had a successful season with the Delhi Capitals. He was released by KKR ahead of the auction, however, they will still be interested in adding him back to the team if they get a chance. However, the competition will be fierce. Cummins comes into the auction as one of the most experienced bowlers in the pool. He has also displayed great leadership ability, taking Australia to the 2023 ODI World Cup title against all odds. He has set his base price at Rs 2 crore.
Pacers Arshdeep Singh bowled a dream first spell and found an ally in equally menacing Avesh Khan as a second-string Indian team completely annihilated South Africa by eight wickets in the opening ODI on Sunday. India now lead the three-match series 1-0. Having gone into the match without a single wicket in his previous three ODI appearances, Arshdeep more than made up for it with his maiden five-wicket haul as South Africa were all-out for 116 in 27.3 overs.
Shardul Thakur will be popular among franchises when the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) auction comes around. He has proven his ability to win titles for his side in the IPL and the international arena. He is also a handy lower-order batsman.

This could be good news for the remaining teams since most are looking for good fast-bowling options.

Josh Hazelwood's Indian Premier League (IPL) career has been marred by injuries. He missed out on a large part of the 2023 season with the Royal Challengers Bangalore due to an injury. This led to the team releasing Hazelwood ahead of the upcoming auction. In 2024, Hazelwood has a chance to make things right and finally showcase his class on the IPL stage. Franchises will want to pick up the tall pacer as he was a part of the 2023 ODI World Cup-winning Australian team. However, the pacer has a baby on the way and this can influence how teams bid for the Australian bowler.
