Mitchell Starc
IPL 2024 Auction: Speculations have already started regarding which player will be sold the most expensive in the IPL 2024 auction. Big players of the country and the world are coming to the mini auction this time. But teams will be able to buy a maximum of 77 players only. A total of 333 players will be auctioned in the auction to be held in Dubai on December 19. Actually, it is believed that the biggest bid can be made on Mitchell Starc. But there are some teams who may not be willing to bid on him. Because they either do not have much money to invest or they already have foreign pacers.
MS Dhoni captained CSK will not chase Mitchell Starc too far
First of all let’s talk about CSK under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. Although CSK has many bowlers. These include Deepak Chahar, Mathisha Pathirana, Rajvardhan Hungergekar, Mukesh Chaudhary, Tushar Deshpande, Simarjeet Singh. Mathisha Pathirana is a foreign pacer. But the team does not have enough space to include Mitchell Starc in the playing eleven of every match. Now even if the team goes after a foreign fast bowler, it could be Josh Hazlewood, who has played for this team before also. Apart from CSK, LSG is also one such team. The team has Yudhveer Singh, Mohsin Khan, Mark Wood, Mayank Yadav, Yash Thakur and Naveen-ul-Haq as pacers. The team has Mark Wood and Naveen Ul Haq as foreign fast bowlers. The team doesn’t have much money anyway, so this team may also make an opening bid on him, but if the price increases then it is possible that he may be let go.
Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals also do not need Mitchell Starc
Punjab Kings, captained by Shikhar Dhawan, may also shy away from bidding for Mitchell Starc for too long. Because the team already has Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Nathan Ellis and Vidwath Kawerappa. Kagiso Rabada is such a pacer of the team, who if fit, will be given a chance in the playing eleven of every match. In such a situation, the team may not chase Mitchell Starc very far. Talking about Delhi Capitals, the team already has Enrique Norkhia, Khalil Ahmed, Ishant Sharma, Mukesh Kumar and Lungi Ngidi as pacers. The team can play Norkhia and Lumby together in the playing eleven and otherwise at least one pacer will play, in such a situation there does not seem to be a place for Mitchell Starc.
Rajasthan Royals will not need Mitchell Starc in their playing eleven.
There is a similar story with Rajasthan Royals. The team currently has Trent Boult, Kuldeep Sen, Avesh Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Sandeep Sharma and Navdeep Saini as pacers. The team has a large army of pacers. In such a situation, Mitchell Starc will be given a place by reducing any player in the playing eleven of Rajasthan, which the team will not want. In such a situation, this team can also let Mitchell Starc go.
Gujarat Titans can make big bid on Mitchell Starc
Now let us talk about those teams which can try to get Mitchell Starc in their side at any cost. The first name in this is Gujarat Titans, which will be captained by Shubman Gill next year. The team currently has Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma, Josh Little and Darshan Nalkande. It is not a difficult task to include Mitchell Starc in the playing eleven of this team. KKR captained by Shreyas Iyer also comes in this list. The team currently has Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana. The team will try to keep one of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins with them at any cost and will also be ready to pay a huge amount for it. Mumbai Indians, captained by Hardik Pandya, will also go after Mitchell Starc. The team currently has Akash Madhwal, Jason Behrendorff and Jasprit Bumrah, if Mitchell Starc comes to Mumbai then the team will start looking much stronger.
Mitchell Starc has played IPL with RCB before
RCB, captained by Faf Du Plessis, will also be ready to pay any price to get Mitchell Starc. The team currently has Rajan Kumar, Vishak Vijay Kumar, Akash Deep, Mohammad Siraj and Reece Topley as fast bowlers. If Mitchell Starc comes into this team then the team will be in great shape, there should be no doubt about it. SRH i.e. Sunrisers Hyderabad, captained by Aiden Markram, currently has Marco Johnson, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Fazalhaq Farooqui and Umran Malik. This team can also be seen making a very good bid for Mitchell Starc.
