IPL Auction 2024: Team-wise one player who was unlucky to be released
Ahead of the mini-auction, let’s know one unlucky player from each side who didn’t get retained from his franchise.
5. Chennai Super Kings - Kyle Jamieson
New Zealand paceman Kyle Jamieson was fetched for INR 1 crore by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2023 IPL auction. Prior to the competition, he picked up a back injury and failed to mark his attendance in CSK’s camp. In his absence, CSK signed South Africa pacer Sisanda Magala for the season.
The Kiwi player’s unavailability didn’t affect Super Kings as their pacers Matheesha Pathirana and Tushar Deshpande played their roles exceptionally and delivered the desired results to the team. Super Kings are in no mood to compromise with the fitness and performances of their players to defend the title successfully in 2024 and their retention and release list corroborates it.
Jamieson, who made a comeback in international cricket in August 2023, was ignored by CSK for the 2024 IPL and featured in the franchise’s release list. However, the lanky speedster could’ve done wonders for the Yellow Army as he has the potential to give tough time to batters with his 140 km/h+ speed.
