Here are the players who could be top-five picks in Rs 1-1.5 crore bracket
Wanindu Hasaranga
More From This Section
Hasaranga did not play in the ODI World Cup and it hurt his team big time. Probably not fully fit, Royal Challengers Bangalore released him this year by not keeping him on the retention list. However, he is still one of the best bowling all-rounders going around in the world, at least as far as the shortest format of the game is concerned.
With 533 runs and 91 wickets in 58 T20Is, Sri Lanka would be one of the top targets for most of the teams in this auction, although he might fetch the staggering over 10 crore rupees that he did last time around.
Mohammad Nabi
Nabi showed in the 2023 ODI World Cup that he is as tough and competitive a player as there is any even at the age of 39. With his wily off-spin against the left-handers and his big-hitting prowess down the order, the Afghan legend might get one last chance to have the last dance in the IPL.
Daryl Mitchell
New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell was amongst the runs in the World Cup and hit two centuries. He had hit two fifties as well. Overall, Mitchell is one of the most experienced T20 batters and in the middle order, could give the team the semblance that it needs. With a strike rate of 137 in 56 T20Is and over 1000 runs, Mitchell is in the form of his life and teams would go after him in the auction.
Sam Billings
Sam Billings, out of the reckoning of the England national side, is still one of those players who could win games with both bat and in the field., In an emergency he could keep as well, making him one of the most sought-after impact player choices. With experience of more than 10 years of competitive cricket and playing in all the leagues around the world, he is more likely to get a bid than most in this price bracket.
Gus Atkinson
Gus Atkinson might have not lived up to the hype created around him, but still, he is one of the best upcoming talents. In the shorter formats, Atkinson has the same ability to take quick wickets and be the game-changer when asked to bowl.
In the Hundred, Atkinson took his
