Spin Sensation! Top 5 Overseas Spinners to Twirl Magic in the IPL 2024 Auction

The stage is all set for the IPL auction 2024, which is slated to take place on December 19 in Dubai.

The teams released several well-known players; the majority were overseas players due to the poor IPL 2023 season, or it may be that they didn’t work well with their current lineup or were just too expensive to retain.

However, check out here the top 5 overseas spinners who can go big, that is, beyond their base price in the IPL 2024 auctions.

#2. Tabriz Shamsi

South African leg spinner Tabriz Shamsi is one of the most crucial players for his side. Notably, the star cricketer has kept his base price of 50 lakhs; however, he is expected to go beyond that owing to his lethal bowling spells.

The 33-year-old cricketer has played 63 T20Is while picking up 76 wickets. In addition, the leg spinner is expected to get picked up by some big franchises owing to his recent form in the game’s shortest form.

#3. Keshav Maharaj

South African spinner Keshav Maharaj showed great form in the ODI World Cup 2023, especially against the Pakistan team, which helped his side win the game. Moreover, the star cricketer provided a lower-order batting option in the squad as well.

The 33-year-old cricketer seems to be a great option in the IPL Auction 2024 and looks to go big.

#4. Adil Rashid

Sunrises Hyderabad has released star spinner Adil Rashid ahead of the IPL 2024 auctions after their side finished at the bottom of the points table in the IPL 2023. However, the star cricketer proved to be a very crucial player in the recent ODI World Cup 2023.

The 35-year-old cricketer has a lot of experience in T20Is, including IPL, and he sets to go beyond his prize money, which he sets for the auctions.

#5. Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Afghanistan right-arm spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman was the crucial player for his side in the ODI World Cup 2023 and showed his bowling brilliance throughout the tournament, which helped them win four out of nine games of the league stage. The 22-year-old cricketer played a crucial role when their side beat tough teams like Pakistan and England in the ODI World Cup 2023

However, the spinner is also looking to go beyond his price, and the team will be looking to grab him with a big purse.
