When Chennai Super Kings (CSK) broke their bank to acquire the services of Ben Stokes at the IPL 2023 auction, it was a huge moment of elation for the Chennai fans.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will go into the IPL 2024 auction having the second-biggest purse (₹34 crore) among all 10 franchises. The Orange Army hoisted up a large chunk of their purse by releasing Harry Brook.
It came as a huge shock when Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) released most of their bowling options, including star players Wanindu Hasaranga and Josh Hazlewood.
The first Indian on the list, Shardul Thakur, was released by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on retention day. The two-time IPL winners traded in Thakur from the Delhi Capitals (DC) for a huge sum of ₹10.75 crore ahead of the IPL 2023 season.
Another player released by RCB was Harshal Patel. Harshal came as a revelation for the franchise after he took 32 wickets at the IPL 2021. Next year, he claimed 19 more wickets due to his guile and effectiveness.
