The auction for IPL 2024 will take place on December 19 in Dubai. This means there is only one day left for the auction and all ten IPL teams are busy finalizing their preparations. The name of one of these teams is Sunrisers Hyderabad, which this time has the most money in its wallet after Gujarat Titans.
This team is participating in this auction with a prize money of Rs 34 Crore and has a total of 6 slots left out of which there is room for 3 foreign players. This means that the Sunrisers Hyderabad team has to buy a maximum of 6 players in this auction for a total of Rs 34 Crores. This means Hyderabad can spend an average of Rs 5-6 crore for each player in this auction. In such a situation, it is clear that this team will definitely make a big offer on at least 1-2 players. Let’s try to understand the auction strategies of this team.
Before this auction happened, the Hyderabad team had retained 18 of its players and released only 6 players. There are some great Indian players in this team including players like Rahul Tripathi, Mayank Agarwal, Washington Sundar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umran Malik.
In addition, among the foreign players, this team has international players such as Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Marco Jensen and Glenn Phillips. This time, Hyderabad will be eyeing a foreign spinner, some strong fast bowlers and a few batsmen at the auction.
Hyderabad once had Rashid Khan whose absence has not been filled and this time Adil Rashid and Akil Hussain were released. In such a situation, his eyes will be on players like Wanindu Hasaranga, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi, Morgan Ashwin or Shreyas Gopal.
Talking about the pace attack, this team has an attack of fast bowlers like Bhuvneshwar, T Natarajan, Marco Jensen and Umran Malik but looking at Umran’s economy and Bhuvneshwar’s speed, this team needs a young fast bowler. Will find. Therefore, this team can make high bids for players like Gerald Coetzee or Mitchell Starc. Apart from this, this team will also keep an eye on players like Harshal Patel and Shardul Thakur and if required, this team can also spend Rs 7-10 crore on these players.
Apart from this, this year Hyderabad released Harry Brook who was bought by this team with a huge offer of Rs 13.25 Crore last year. Now this team will also look for Brooks’ replacement. However, just before the auction, Brook proved his strong claim by playing an unbeaten innings of 31 runs in 7 balls against West Indies. In such a situation, it is possible that Hyderabad will pursue him again but there is more hope that this team can spend millions of rupees on players like Travis Head, Darryl Mitchell or similar instead of Harry Brook.
