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.
5. Mumbai Indians- Jason Behrendorff
In Jasprit Bumrah’s absence, Jason Behrendorff's responsibility was to bolster the Mumbai Indians’ (MI) fast-bowling unit. The Australia pacer was traded to MI from RCB in November 2022. He played 12 matches in the competition and fetched 14 wickets at an expensive economy of 9.21.
As a strike bowler, he struggled to contain the flow of runs and deliver early breakthroughs to the side consistently. However, the MI team management didn’t look unhappy with his shaky performance in the last tournament and has retained him for the next IPL edition to be played in the Indian summer season. In the next IPL edition, MI supporters will expect the 33-year-old Aussie to assist Jasprit Bumrah to reinforce their team’s pace attack.
