No one gave any price in IPL
Salt was recently ignored in the IPL Auction 2024. He could not find any buyer. Salt’s base price was Rs 1.5 crore but none of the 10 franchises in the mini-auction took interest in him. The 27-year-old player was a part of Delhi Capitals in the 2023 season and performed well. He scored 218 runs in 9 innings at an average of 27.25 and strike rate of 163.91. After not being selected in the IPL, Salt said that I was hoping that after going there last year and performing well, I would be picked, but these things happen. This is part of the lottery of the auction. There are some lads in our dressing room who are going to have a great Christmas and I’m very happy for them.
