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.
2. Sunrisers Hyderabad - Adil Rashid
After putting up a disappointing show for their supporters in the 2023 IPL, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) released six players from their squad. They also broke ties with Adil Rashid, who looked decent with the ball in the two games he featured in.
The England spinner was signed up for INR 2 crore in the 2023 auction. Making his debut in the Orange jersey against Rajasthan Royals (RR), he bowled a wicketless but economical spell on Hyderabad’s batting-friendly surface. In the next match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), he bagged the prized scalps of KL Rahul and Romario Shepherd in his three overs.
Following the LSG game, the Sunrisers dropped the wrist spinner from their playing XI. Rashid’s exclusion from the XI shocked several SRH supporters. Before the 2024 auction, Sunrisers bid adieu to the spinner despite noting his 15 wickets for England in nine matches of the 2023 World Cup which was played in India.
