IPL 2024: Ranking all teams based on their death bowling ahead of the season
With quality additions to their squad, some teams have become stronger while some would struggle due to sub-par auction performance.
The IPL 2024 auction ended with 72 players being sold and history being created as ten franchises splurged over INR 250 crore in an exciting event. The auction was held for the first time outside India, as Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai served as the venue for the event.
Pat Cummins (INR 20.50 Cr) and Mitchell Starc (INR 24.75 Cr) became the first players to get over 20 crore rupees from the franchises, bettering the previous highest-ever bid of INR 18.50 Cr which Sam Curran had got. Many of the uncapped players also got huge bids, setting them up for good and giving them a brilliant platform to showcase their cricketing skills.
One of the foci of this IPL 2024 auction was on pacers as they were in high demand and got huge amounts in bids. In this article, we rank the franchises as per their death bowling squads from worst to best.
Here is how the death bowling unit of each team is ranked after IPL 2024 auction:
10. Punjab Kings (PBKS):
Punjab King's death bowling in the IPL 2024 will be heavily dependent on Arshdeep Singh, Sam Curran, and newly bought Harshal Patel. Harshal made a huge name for himself as a death overs bowler in IPL 2021, where the majority of his 32 scalps came in final overs. PBKS also showed great mind to get Chris Woakes as well, who can help them at the start, leaving Shikhar Dhawan with max overs from Arshdeep and Harshal for the death.
