5 stars of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 who might get sold in IPL 2024 auction for a big amount

Players that have done well in ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 might be seen going for big amount in IPL 2024.

Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) mini-auction will be held in Dubai on December 19. Teams have been given a deadline of November 25 to decide on their final retentions before heading into the mini-auction. Franchises have also begun their preparations, charting out their plans before heading into the auction and spending their purses. The scouts are out looking for the players they might be going for in the auction.

The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has also provided them with a great platform to sort out the names and roles they are looking for in IPL 2024. There have been a few names who have stunned with their splendid performances and might get a heavy amount in IPL auction 2024. Let’s have a look at the possible names who are probably on the radar for the franchises and get a heavy purse due to their World Cup brilliance.

Here are the 5 stars of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, who might end up as a big buy in IPL 2023 auction:

1. Rachin Ravindra (New Zealand) :

New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra got an opportunity as a replacement option for Kane Williamson. Had Williamson been fit for the World Cup 2023, Ravindra would have warmed the bench for Kiwis in the mega event. Williamson’s absence allowed him an opportunity to take himself to the top in the ongoing tournament.

Ravindra, with 3 centuries in 8 innings, is rated as one of the brightest talents in cricket for the future. Ravindra might get a big amount in IPL 2024 mini-auction in Dubai, and franchises may fight it out to get the Kiwi all-rounder in their camp. Ravindra has scored 523 runs in 8 games in the World Cup 2023 and picked up 3 wickets.

2. Dilshan Madushanka (Sri Lanka) :

Sri Lankan pace bowler Dilshan Madushanka is currently the leading wicket-taker in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, with 21 wickets in 8 games. Sri Lanka might not have a winning run in the tournament, but Madushanka has been a crucial figure in Sri Lankan camp for the mega event.

Madushanka began well in the tournament and had two great games initially against Pakistan (2/60) and Australia (3/38), and then he went on to pick up a 5-wicket haul against India in Mumbai. With IPL 2024 mini-auction coming soon in December, Madushanka is expected to be on franchises' radar looking for pace bowlers. Mumbai Indians, might go for him as the pace bowling department is still a concern for them.

3. Charith Asalanka (Sri Lanka) :

Sri Lanka might be struggling in their World Cup 2023 campaign, but a few of the players in their camp have done fantastic in the tournament so far. Charith Asalnka has been a crucial player for Sri Lanka's middle-order and has played a few decent knocks. Asalanka smashed a century against Bangladesh at Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium in Delhi.

Asalanka also played a swashbuckling knock against South Africa in their mammoth run chase. That innings was enough to tempt an IPL contract and come in the target of IPL talent scouts. Asalanka has scored 280 runs in 7 innings, and he might also attract a huge IPL contract in the upcoming IPL 2024 mini-auction in Dubai.

4. Azmatullah Omarzai (Afghanistan) :

Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmed, Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb Zadran, Naveen-ul-Haq, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and a few more to add to the elite list of Afghans playing in Indian Premier League and shine bright. Azmatullah Omarzai could become another to play in the prestigious IPL, backing up his brilliant batting performance in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.

23-year-old all-rounder Azmatullah Omarazai has been one of the most prolific performers in the World Cup with his multi-dimensional approach to the game. Omarzai has scored 234 runs for his team batting in the middle-order in 6 innings, more importantly, his strike rate has also been impressive at 99.15, and he has picked up 5 wickets in the tournament so far in 8 games.

5. Tabraiz Shamsi (South Africa) :

Despite being a regular figure for South Africa in the T20I format and leagues around the world, Tabraiz Shamsi has failed to become a regular player in Indian Premier League. Shami has played in Indian Premier League before for Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Maybe now, with a few great performances coming in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Tabraiz Shamsi looks to have attracted a few eyeballs. Shamsi will be a great buy for any team looking to strengthen their spin bowling department. Tabraiz has played only 3 games in the World Cup 2023 and impressed everyone with his wonderful spell against Pakistan in Chennai. Shamsi has picked up seven wickets in three games in the ongoing World Cup.
