2. Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc’s long-awaited return to Indian Premier League is over. Fans always talked about his return to IPL. The Aussie pacer kept himself away from IPL tournaments to give his time to the national team.

However, Mitchell Starc is part of the IPL 2024 auction and will be part of the tournament after missing 8 seasons. Starc last played in the IPL 2015 edition. The 33-year-old has a base price of Rs. 2 crore but his final bidding price will be a lot more higher.

Ravindra can also bowl spin and this makes him a magnificent player to have in the squad. The Kiwi player has kept a base price of Rs. 50 lakh for himself in the IPL 2024 auction. However, some franchises are expected to shell out their maximum funds in the IPL 2024 auction to grab Rachin Ravindra into their squad.
