All 10 franchises are set for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction, having decided which players they wish to retain and release ahead of the bidding war. Mumbai Indians signing of Hardik Pandya emerged as the biggest talking point, with the Gujarat Titans skipper deciding to re-join his old franchise after spending two seasons with GT. Meanwhile the Gujarat-based franchise named Shubman Gill as their skipper. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, traded Cameron Green to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Among other highlights, Delhi Capitals decided to retain wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant despite there being no clarity over his potential return to the field. Pant missed the entire IPL 2023 season because of the car crash he was involved in in December 2022.
