Shahrukh Khan, an uncapped player with a 40-lakh base price, is set to be a coveted all-rounder in the auction. His standout performance in the Tamil Nadu Premier League 2023, where he claimed 17 wickets in nine games at an economy rate of 6.66, has heightened interest from franchises.

Pat Cummins, the World Cup-winning captain, is highly sought-after for his cunning bowling and leadership. He drew a record bid from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at INR 15.5 crore in 2020 and returned to the team for INR 7.25 crore after being released.

Vivrant Sharma, bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs. 2.20 crore in the 2023 IPL auction after a battle with Kolkata Knight Riders, impressed with a fifty on his debut against Mumbai. His recent Vijay Hazare Trophy performances, including a 144-run innings against Mizoram and an 83 against Uttarakhand, along with his reliable wrist spin, have put him on the radar of several teams.
