IPL 2024: Bargain buys who might play vital roles for their teams

In the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, the franchises splurged over INR 230 crores to buy 72 players. Mitchell Starc pulled off a record-breaking deal of INR 24.75 crore from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and topped the list of most expensive players in the history of IPL auctions. Following him, his compatriot Pat Cummins also received an eye-watering contract of INR 20.50 crore from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). 

On one hand, these two players got eye-grabbing deals at the business event while on the other, some players got buyers but couldn’t receive massive prices. These bargain players will be important members of their teams as they are expected to handle enormous responsibilities.

Here are bargain players who will play huge roles in their teams in IPL 2024:

9. Kartik Tyagi 

Kartik Tyagi has been active in IPL since 2020 but the youngster has failed to do big yet. After witnessing his ineffective performance in 2023, SRH broke ties with him and he went under the hammer again. This time, Gujarat Titans (GT) invested INR 60 lakh in him for the upcoming competition.

With the presence of veteran India speedsters such as Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, and Mohit Sharma, Tyagi might not get a lot of chances in the playing XI consistently but in case, the team management gives him opportunities, he will look to grab them with both hands.
