IPL 2024: Country-wise one big player who went unsold in the auction
These players are renowned in international cricket and they were expected to get buyers. However, they didn’t fit into the scheme of things of the franchises.
1. India - Karun Nair
Karun Nair became a renowned name in international cricket after his triple-hundred for India against England in Chennai. He was expected to become a huge player in international cricket and IPL due to his brilliant skills. Currently, the right-handed batter isn’t a notable player in IPL but he looked decent in the league until 2018. In 2023, he was seen in LSG’s camp but didn’t get a place in the playing XI for once.
The 32-year-old’s name was featured in the 2024 IPL auction as Lucknow parted ways with him a few days before the business event. Nair didn’t get a bidder in the auction and found himself on the list of unsold players. Nair looked decent with his bat for Vidarbha in the 2023-24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), scoring 218 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of 152.44. However, his performance wasn’t enough to get a buyer in the auction in Dubai.
