IPL 2024 Auction: Best XI of players released by teams ahead of the auction

5. Sarfaraz Khan

Enormously talented Sarfaraz Khan fell prey to Delhi Capitals (DC) doing a washout of talent in their squad after their disastrous IPL 2023 performance. With Rishabh Pant out of action, DC gave the keeping gloves to Sarfaraz Khan and asked him to do a dual role. But his performance was very poor with 53 runs in four matches at a strike rate of 85.48.

He got bounced out and his technique was found out as well. However, someone who is so proficient in scoring runs in domestic cricket, Sarfaraz Khan has never cracked the code in IPL, mostly due to a lack of consistent chances.
