<p>The two-day bonanza in Jeddah on November 24 and November 25 is certain to be a highly entertaining affair. All the participating franchises are set to engage in a fierce competitive battle, which will include stacking up their squad with the best possible resources they could. Of course, each franchise would want to shortlist their own pre-determined set of players according to their strategy and the way they would have thought to carry their franchise forward.</p>
<p>The Deadline Day on October 31, 2024, laid down just the perfect buildup for the mega auction, which will be conducted in a few days' time. Each franchise retained the set of players their think tank thought would be the perfect fit to build the core for the team. Conversely, there were a bunch of players who were released by some franchises, those who were in fact expected to be retained in the first place.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In fact, out of the 1,574 players to have registered for the spectacle in Saudi Arabia, 1,224 of them are uncapped players. Uncapped players cannot just be excluded from the conversation in a dismissive fashion, for there is an abundance of talent and potential they bring to the table. Despite a truckload of uncapped players primed to earn the big bucks in the mega auction, below is a brief analysis on the three picks who could quite possibly be splurged upon.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Here are top three uncapped players who can trigger bidding wars from all franchises</h3>
<h3>1. Nehal Wadhera</h3>

<p><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/nehal-wadhera/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Nehal Wadhera</strong></a> is one such power-hitter who could be valued really highly amongst certain franchises in need of a batter batting uptop. There is no doubt about his hard-hitting prowess, despite Wadhera being relatively fresh in his professional career. He was brought into the setup of the Mumbai Indians in 2023 and promised a lot with his performances.</p>
<p>The franchise placed their trust in him right from the get-go. In the 10 innings he featured during IPL 2023, he registered a tally of 241 runs. However, the following season saw him get benched for MI's first seven games despite no apparent dip in form.</p>
<p>Despite amassing 175 runs in six innings in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy ahead of the previous season, he was not given a go in the XI. After he was shortlisted in the XI against the Rajasthan Royals, he went on to show what he was capable of with a 24-ball 49-run blitz. The youngster has oozed energy whether for state or franchise.</p>
<h3>2. Angkrish Raghuvanshi</h3>

<p>What brought the tall, right-handed top-order batter into the limelight was the 2022 edition of the Under-19 World Cup in the Caribbean. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/angkrish-raghuvanshi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Angkrish Raghuvanshi</strong></a> finished as India's leading run-getter in that particular campaign. He was one of the main components of the World Cup-winning squad.</p>
<p>Raghuvanshi, who had moved to Mumbai from Delhi when he was just 11, was trained extensively by Abhishek Nayar and Omkar Salvi. Having been bought at the mini auction in IPL 2024 at his base price, Raghuvanshi was definitely a bright spark who ended up dazzling. His IPL debut saw him take the Delhi Capitals' bowlers to the cleaners.</p>
<p>Although he could not really capitalize on the other opportunities which his came his way post that match, one thing which was blatantly evident was his appetite for taking risks. He is one batter who is well and truly capable of acccelerating rapidly. With the nascent promise he displayed in IPL 2024, he is one of the uncapped players for whom franchises might go the extra mile to acquire.</p>
<h3>3. Ashutosh Sharma</h3>

<p>Before the escapades pulled off by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/ashutosh-sharma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ashutosh Sharma</strong></a> during IPL 2024, not many would have known of him. Coming in as an Impact Player in quite a few occurrences, Ashtutosh pulled off some majestic knocks which saw him whacking the ball to all parts. He scored a total of 189 runs in nine innings, a particularly commendable effort coming in at No. 5 or 6.</p>
<p>He was a rare beacon of excellence along with Shashank Singh in what was an underwhelming, lukewarm campaign for the Punjab Kings. PBKS went with a really unique strategy which saw them retain only two uncapped players, one of who was Shashank. Ashutosh could be considered a tad unlucky for being released in the auction.</p>
<p>His story to the top has been anything but a walk in the park. Battling financial adversities, a fallout with a renowned coach which prompted him to change states for pursuing cricket, getting diagnosed with depression; despite the plights he has had to encounter, he has held his ground. An explosive strike rate of 187.07 in the 23 T20s he has played just goes on to show the hard-hitting expertise he has in his batting repertoire, something a host of franchises would desire to harness.</p>
