IPL 2024: “I Can Definitely See A War Between CSK And GT For This Player, Says Ravichandran Aswin

The IPL 2024 auction, set to happen in less than a month, has already disclosed the player retention list, revealing the notable players in the auction pool. Kolkata Knight Riders did not retain Shardul Thakur, and Jofra Archer along with Ben Stokes won’t be participating in IPL 2024.

Anticipation surrounds the significant spending by the 10 franchises, with keen interest in the squad compositions post-auction in Dubai on December 19. Rajasthan Royals’ spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, anticipates a substantial bid for power hitter Shahrukh Khan.

Ashwin exclusively said: “I can definitely see a war between CSK and Gujarat for Shahrukh Khan. Gujarat have let go of Hardik Pandya , Gujarat need a player who can finish the innings, a sort of power player and they need a power player. Shahrukh was earning 9 crore at Punjab Kings, and I thought he showed his skills pretty well. Is it a decent release? Because I think he might end up going for Rs 12-13 crore again,”

“CSK might even take a chance of missing out on Mitchell Starc to get Shahrukh Khan because they don’t have a local player. They went for Shahrukh Khan in the mega auction, and that’s why I’m guessing so.”
