4. Harshal Patel, Punjab Kings (INR 11.75 crore)

Punjab Kings (PBKS) had a formidable pace attack on paper last season as they had the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh, Sam Curran, and Nathan Ellis in their ranks. However, except for the Aussie speedster, no one could make much of an impact. The management bolstered their bowling department by adding Harshal Patel to their squad, bagging him for INR 11.75 crore at the auction.

The discarded India pacer played in the second match of IPL 2024 between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur in Chandigarh. After PBKS won the toss and opted to bowl first, Harshal bowled well in his first three overs and picked up two wickets at the cost of 22 runs. However, in his final over, which was also the last over of the innings, the right-arm seamer was taken to the cleaners by the 21-year-old Impact Player Abhishek Porel. The wicketkeeper-batter smashed three fours and two sixes in an over which yielded 25 runs. DC finished on 174/9 before the home side won the encounter with four wickets and as many balls to spare.
