IPL Auction 2024: 3 Team India players who might go unsold in auction

The 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) auction will take place on December 19, 2023, in Dubai. Eminent overseas players such as Mitchell Starc, Rachin Ravindra, and Travis Head are the favourites to emerge as top buys while Indian players Harshal Patel and Shardul Thakur can also be picked up at high prices. 

However, some Indian players might get ignored by the franchises and can be seen breaking into the list of unsold players. These players haven’t looked in great touch in the T20 format for the last few years and this fact can make them unreliable among the franchises.

Here are three team India players who might not get buyers in the auction

3. Varun Aaron

Fast bowler Varun Aaron, who was a part of the Team India from 2011-15, has registered his name for the auction. His name will be announced with his base price of INR 50 lakh. The speedster has never played any T20 International (T20I) game for India but he has been active in the cash-rich league since 2011.

In his long IPL career, the pacer has picked up only 44 wickets in 52 matches at an economy of 8.94. Back in 2022, Gujarat Titans (GT) signed him up for INR 50 lakh but he failed to do wonders for the side. He got two matches from the team management but got only two wickets at an expensive economy of 10.40.

Aaron might go unsold in the auction as he hasn’t played any T20 match in domestic cricket for more than one year. Along with that, his mediocre numbers in the cash-rich league can also keep franchises away from his name.
