IPL 2024 Auction: 3 Teams Who Can Target Josh Inglis In The Auction

3. Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore has wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik in their squad for IPL 2024. Last season, the right-handed batter struggled to score runs for the team. Getting out for single digits in many games, Dinesh Karthik hit 140 runs across 13 games at a poor 11.67 average.

Hence, RCB can grab a backup wicketkeeper in the form of Josh Inglis in the IPL 2024 auction. The three-time runners-up should be prepared if Karthik struggles next season. Hence, they can go ahead with bidding for Inglis during the event.

3. Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians have a powerful wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan in their squad. However, the Rohit Sharma-led side does not have another wicketkeeper for the team. Kishan will play the role of wicketkeeper-batsman for MI in IPL 2024 season.

However, like every team, MI needs a backup keeper to manage Ishan Kishan’s workload during the tournament. Also, injuries are an inevitable part of IPL tournaments, and having multiple players for similar roles always benefits a team. Mumbai can grab 8 more players into their squad during the IPL 2024 auction with Rs. 17.75 funds.
