Following the IPL 2024 Auction, some teams may be pleased with their acquisitions, while others may be dissatisfied with the players they received for the forthcoming tournament in March. However, once the franchises purchased 72 players in total, the teams looked nothing like they did before the auction.

While it is impossible to identify a team that fared the best or the worst in the IPL 2024 Auction because performance will be the ultimate judge, it is worth taking a look at how they did when putting their squads together on paper.

In this article, we take a look at some setbacks and blunders committed by the franchises on the auction table.

Here are the team-wise blunders from the IPL 2024 auction:

Chennai Super Kings had a decently good IPL 2024 auction. Their most expensive pick was Daryl Mitchell at INR 14 Cr and they got Rachin Ravindra at only INR 1.8 Cr, for a steal. They also bought uncapped Sameer Rizvi for INR 8.4 Cr and got a bang death overs bowler in Mustafizur Rahman for the base price.

However, they had come into the auction with one goal, to get a very good and experienced Indian batter to replace Ambati Rayudu. Many expected CSK to go after Manish Pandey or Karun Nair to fill that void. However, instead of going for someone experienced, they have paid a bomb to an unknown Rizvi on the back of a good UP T20 league season.
