IPL 2024 Auction: 3 Teams Who Can Target Kedar Jadhav In The Auction

Ahead of the IPL 2024 auction, Royal Challengers Bangalore has released Kedar Jadhav from their squad. Kedar Jadhav has set a base price of Rs. 2 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. Last season, Jadhav was picked by RCB towards the end of the season. He played just 2 games in which he scored an unbeaten 12 runs in the lone match he batted.

Once a key player for Chennai Super Kings, Kedar Jadhav has lost his prowess in the Indian Premier League due to his age. The 38-year-old is among the most veteran players in the auction.
