It is that time of the year when there is a lot of talk about replacement signings in IPL 2024. The season is set to start within a month and already, we have seen multiple withdrawals. Therefore, replacement signings become important in this regard. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three capped Indian cricketers who could be replacement signings in IPL 2024.
1) Sarfaraz Khan
Sarfaraz Khan has been in the news for the last few days. He is now a capped Indian cricketer, having made his Test debut against England in Rajkot.
His confidence is high and he has experience of playing in the IPL. His game against spin is good, as well. These factors could make him an attractive signing. As per reports, a few teams are already targeting him for the upcoming season.
2) Siddarth Kaul
Siddarth Kaul is a part of this list of capped Indian cricketers who could be replacement signings in IPL 2024. It is a surprise that he went unsold in the recent auctions.
For the last few editions of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he has been consistently picking wickets. Nevertheless, he still has a chance. He is someone who can bowl in the middle-overs, especially with the variations that he has got. Hence, he could be an option as a replacement player.
3) Sandeep Warrier
Sandeep Warrier was with Mumbai Indians last season. He was the replacement for Jasprit Bumrah. It won’t be a surprise if he gets another chance in IPL.
With the new ball, he is very effective. He has also been in decent touch, picking some crucial wickets at the domestic level. Impact Player rule allows teams to afford a phase-specialist cricketer in the XI. Hence, the Tamil Nadu speedster could have an opportunity in the upcoming season of the competition.
