IPL 2024 Live: 332 players, 77 slots and INR 262.5 crore to spend... the IPL 2024 auction is here. Another year, another season of the IPL and yet another day of dreams getting fulfilled, lives being changed and some unknown commodities becoming household names before cricket takes precedence in the 17th edition of the cash-rich league. A lot has happened in the build-up to the mini-auction this time around, which is going to the biggest one in the last few years, especially with the trades that have happened, how they have happened, how many have happened and changes in leadership for a couple of teams.
But all that is done and now it will be the test of strategies and preparation of all the 10 teams and their think-tank as probably all of them need to plug their gaps and this time around, the supply is abundant both in the overseas and local set of players, capped as well as uncapped player and hence, fierce bidding wars are on the cards.
Kolkata Knight Riders have the most slots to fill (12) while the Gujarat Titans who let go of their skipper Hardik Pandya have the biggest purse remaining (INR 38.15 crore). Out of 77 total slots, 30 are for overseas players and looking at the demand and spots left, the pace bowlers will have a field day in the market while a couple of all-rounders will be on the radar of at least 5-6 teams.
