3. Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals can target David Willey during the IPL 2024 auction. The 2022 runners-up have released Jason Holder from the squad, who is a pace all-rounder. In their current squad, they are short of pace all-rounders.
Hence, they might look for one during the auction and Willey will be an appropriate choice. Rajasthan can pick 6 more players during the IPL 2024 auction. They have Rs. 23.25 crore left in their salary cap.
2. Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings is another team that is short of seam all-rounders. They have Rishi Dhawan in that profile. However, he has struggled with consistency with both batting and bowling. Hence, David Willey can be a good option to install into the squad. Also, with the ouster of Shahrukh Khan, PBKS needs more seam all-rounders in their squad. Punjab can grab 8 more players in their team.

1. Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals is another team that can follow David Willey during the IPL 2024 auction. Delhi only has Mitchell Marsh in the seam all-rounder department. The Australia star showed a marvelous form last season.
However, the team needs a backup for him as Marsh can miss some games due to national duties. Moreover, DC also needs to manage his workload during the tournament. Hence, it will be a good idea to grab David Willey, who can play in the absence of Mitchell Marsh during IPL 2024.
