A total of 333 players are to be bid in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction. Which player will be sold most expensively in IPL 2024 will be revealed only on December 19. IPL 2024 auction is to be held in Dubai on 19th December. Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra has shared his prediction regarding the auction and told who can be the most expensive player this time. According to Aakash Chopra, Mitchell Starc can prove to be the most expensive player in the IPL 2024 auction. This fast bowler from Australia is going to play IPL after the break.
Aakash Chopra said on Geo Cinema’s sports show Akashvani, ‘Mitchell Starc can make millions of dollars in his name. Almost all the players who play for Australia have registered their names for the IPL 2024 auction. But the most popular name among these is that of Mitchell Starc.
He is a dangerous bowler with the new ball and he takes early wickets and bowls good yorkers as well. Apart from this, he is also a good death bowler, his IPL numbers are also quite impressive. He has performed well playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Aakash Chopra further said, ‘However, the number of times he has withdrawn his name from the IPL after this is a matter of concern. If a team buys him and he withdraws his name from the IPL at the very last moment in preparation for the Ashes or due to some personal reason, then the team may be in trouble. Money will be released from them, but important players will be lost.
Talking about this auction itself, apart from Starc, there will be important bowlers like Gerald Coetzee, Josh Hazlewood, Dilshan Madhushanka, and Ben Dwarshuis. But if you buy out Stark, and he ends up taking his name back, you can’t get back to these names, they will no longer be available to you. I do not doubt that Starc will go for a lot of money, but the worry is that if he pulls out at the last moment…’
