IPL 2024: Punjab Kings can release the most expensive player in IPL history, sword hanging over Harry Brook too

Punjab Kings may release Sam Curran. Curran is the most expensive player in IPL history, who was bought for Rs 18.5 crore, but his performance was not anything special. The player auction for IPL 2024 will take place in Dubai on December 19.

At the same time, Sunrisers Hyderabad can also release England batsman Harry Brook. Hyderabad had bought Brook in the auction for IPL 2023 by bidding Rs 13.25 crore. There was a race between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore to take Brook, but in the end, Hyderabad was successful in taking him.

However, Brook could not make an impact and scored a total of 190 runs in 11 IPL matches this year at a strike rate of 140, which included a century. The last few seasons have not been good for Sunrisers Hyderabad and they are not even able to make it to the knockout race.

This year, Sunrisers had won only four out of 14 group matches. According to the report, releasing Brook will increase Sunrisers' budget in view of the auction and they will be able to include some talented players in the team.

Let us tell you that Chennai Super Kings star all-rounder Ben Stokes has declared himself unavailable to play in IPL 2024. CSK has given this information. Although the CSK team was earlier thinking of releasing Ben Stokes, Stokes himself has refused to play this season.
