The dynamics in an IPL mini-auction can be unpredictable. Last year, we saw players beating the INR 15 crore mark with ease. The likes of Ben Stokes, Sam Curran and Cameron Green reached there in no time. This time around, too, we can see this happen. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three players who could earn more than INR 15 Cr in IPL 2024 Auctions.
1) Mitchell Starc
Yes, in T20s, his game is not very great at the moment. Also, he has not played IPL in recent seasons. It would be a risk but Starc adds so much value to a bowling attack that teams find it hard to look away from him.
He is a solid cricketer and ensures wickets with the new ball. Therefore, teams might be eager to add him to the roster, which could hike his salary beyond 15 crores.
2) Gerald Coetzee
Gerald Coetzee is one of the players who could earn more than INR 15 Cr in IPL 2024 Auctions. One player whom everyone is excited about is Gerald Coetzee. He has pace, he is tall and can hit the deck hard. Of course, he can also move the ball well. He is young and has a long career ahead of him.
There are teams that need foreign pacers. They would be desperate for a player like Coetzee. Plus, since he also adds value with the bat, his stakes will further improve. There are teams such as CSK sitting with a purse in excess of INR 30 Cr. They could spend half of it on the Proteas cricketer.
3) Travis Head
It is his performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup that has increased the value of his stocks. He can play as an opener and a middle-order batter. Travis is a part-time keeper and a handy right-arm off-spinner.
Such players add terrific value to a side. Therefore, we can see teams getting desperate for such a cricketer. Hence, his bid price could increase highly.
