IPL Auction 2024: Team-wise one player who was lucky to be retained
Some players will breathe a sigh of relief as their franchises haven’t lost faith in them despite witnessing their underwhelming performances in the previous season.
8. Delhi Capitals- Khaleel Ahmed
Khaleel Ahmed was sold to Delhi Capitals (DC) for INR 5.25 crore in 2022. The pacer looked decent in 2022, picking up 16 wickets in 10 games. In 2023, the Capitals failed to qualify for the playoffs, and Khaleel also couldn’t deliver impactful numbers to the team.
Playing nine games, he got only nine wickets at a terrible economy of 9.12. Khaleel has found a spot in the Capitals’ 2024 team but before the release of the retention list, very few had expected him to be a part of the side again. Following the development, Khaleel will consider himself fortunate as he didn’t produce solid performances with the ball in his recent domestic games as well.
In the 2023-24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), he took only eight wickets in five outings for Rajasthan, at an unimpressive economy of 7.95. His endeavours will be to revive his form before the IPL 2024 season so that he can do wonders with the ball for DC.
