IPLCinema.com Rising Stars to Watch in This Year’s IPL Auction

On Tuesday, the auction will start and this year a number of top players are up for sale. Last year’s IPL streaming on JioCinema broke global records for peak concurrency and unique viewers – thus garnering international media coverage of this year’s event. iplcinema.com is popular IPL blog site.

Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc strikes fear into contemporary batsmen with just his name alone. Hailing from Sydney, this tall and skinny fast bowler once aspirated to becoming an aspiring wicketkeeper before taking his career to new heights – becoming one of the world’s premier quicks with an enormous payday to match it all.

Starc has amassed an enormous wealth, yet remains grounded and down-to-earth despite his vast fortune. A loving family man, Starc enjoys spending time with wife Alyssa Healy as well as sipping wine while following Arsenal football club. Additionally, at 27 he owns a luxury mansion in Sydney equipped with stables, equestrian facilities, and 13 car garage.

Kolkata Knight Riders won an intense bidding war to secure Australian left-arm bowler Mitchell Starc and beat Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians, both eager for him to join their ranks. Mitchell will join fellow fast bowlers Pat Cummins and Travis Head, both who signed million-dollar deals.

Cummins led Australia to victory at the 50-over World Cup and has seen interest from Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. He broke Sunrisers Hyderabad’s previous record of 205 million rupees set back in 2016. Now, 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad will have Cummins alongside Starc leading their attack.

Starc’s signing by KKR must have been immensely satisfying to him after opting not to participate in last year’s auction due to international cricket commitments; now he views IPL cricket as an opportunity for him to compete competitively ahead of next year’s T20 World Cup tournament.

Starc’s record-setting contract serves as a stark reminder of the value fast bowlers bring in today’s Twenty20 franchise cricket world. Furthermore, such deals underscore that players now make more playing franchise cricket than in five days of Test cricket combined.

Rachin Ravindran

Rachin Ravindran has caught the attention of cricket enthusiasts in advance of the 2024 IPL auction. The New Zealand all-rounder made waves during his performance in the 2023 World Cup, so now teams may make an aggressive push to acquire him at this year’s auction.

Last IPL season, he played for Kolkata Knight Riders and helped them advance to the quarterfinals, scoring 342 runs at an average of 21 and taking four wickets with an economy rate of 11.52; showing his worth as an asset for any team.

This season, he has been playing for Auckland Aces in the domestic Twenty20 competition, where he has scored two fifty-plus scores and taken five wickets at an average of 23. Additionally, he played for India A in their series against Sri Lanka A and scored four runs while taking one wicket per match.

At the IPL auction, Ravindra was in high demand among three teams and eventually, CSK won his services for just under 2 crore. Under MS Dhoni’s direction, CSK plans on taking full advantage of Ravindra’s unique combination of batting and spin bowling ability in their forthcoming campaign.

The defending champions will look to strengthen their batting unit this season, and Ravindra can assist by his ability to play in various positions. His versatility makes him ideal for the number three position; he may play alongside Rahul Tripathi or Dhoni depending on the circumstances.

Ravindra’s impressive batting abilities and all-round abilities will no doubt attract interest from several Indian Premier League (IPL) clubs, especially Sunrisers Hyderabad who experienced serious batting issues during 2023 IPL tournament and finished bottom of table. Ravindra could prove especially helpful for them to improve performance in 2024 IPL season.

Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya made headlines recently when he returned to Mumbai Indians through a high-profile trade ahead of IPL 2024 season. The India all-rounder left MI two years ago to lead Gujarat Titans, but has returned as part of an expensive deal, changing both team balance and captaincy dynamics at Mumbai Indians five-time IPL champions. pioneerepaper.com is popular Finance site.

At Mumbai Indians from 2015-21, he won four titles for them during his time. But following release ahead of IPL 2022 mega auction, he led Gujarat Titans to an IPL title as their newbie franchise captain despite no prior experience leading a senior side. Critics said it would take too long for him to form relationships between players and coaching staff, yet the Baroda-born star proved them wrong by developing strong ties within his squad and team coaching staff.

Mumbai Indians hope to build on their success from last season when they finished runners-up to Chennai Super Kings in an intense final. Pandya was instrumental in their run and is expected to add further flair and potency to their bowling attack this season.

But whether the Mumbai Indians can match their success from last season remains to be seen, but their squad boasts talent capable of lifting another IPL championship trophy. Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal and Rohit Sharma all possess high levels of respect among fans while Hardik Pandya could propel his side further ahead in their bid for supremacy within this league.

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav is widely known as Kul-Cha, his nickname given by fans. A left-arm chinaman spinner with devastating pace, Yadav has made waves throughout all formats of cricket since debuting as an international bowler back in 2007. Also a fine lower order batsman and talented crafty fielder, Delhi Capitals paid an astounding Rs 2 crore at this year’s auction to secure his services as one of their players.

Kul-Cha’s journey has been quite fascinating. After beginning his career as a fast bowler, Kapil Pandey advised him to switch over to left-arm wrist spin bowling; though initially difficult, this proved immensely successful; becoming one of the top bowlers domestically and eventually receiving national recognition.

After suffering several injuries that impeded his progress, however, the mischievous side still lingered within him. When batting in the nets or during press conferences he still displayed that mischievous smile of an impish youngster looking to splash ketchup onto their shirt!

That naughtiness helped him overcome injuries, and that will ensure a long and fruitful career in cricket. Over the last several years, he has played all three formats of the game for India – winning several awards and trophies along the way, such as 2014 Champions League Twenty20 with Kolkata Knight Riders.

This year’s IPL auction promises to be an engaging spectacle. Set for December 19 in Dubai – its inaugural overseas location – many Indian stars could become highly desirable auction targets; along with Australians Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc as well as New Zealanders Rachin Ravindra and Travis Head being prime candidates.

Reliance Industries’s Mukesh Ambani purchased broadcasting rights for this year’s IPL at an astounding cost of Rs 23,000 crore and plans to stream it free-of-charge via JioCinema for enhanced fan experiences. Boasting multilingual commentary and various camera angles – such as providing bird’s-eye views – JioCinema promises an immersive IPL watching experience unlike anything seen before.
