Actually, Lok Sabha elections are to be held in India next year. In view of this, there may be some changes in the organization of IPL 2024. No official announcement has been made in this regard yet. However, this time the auction process will be done in Dubai before the IPL. This is the first time in the history of IPL that the auction is going to be held outside the country.
England's star all-rounder Ben Stokes is the most expensive player to be released before IPL 2024. Dhoni's CSK had bought Stokes for Rs 16.25 crore in the IPL 2023 mini-auction. After this, the second name is that of Harry Brook, who was included in the team by Sunrisers Hyderabad by bidding Rs 13.25 crore.
The 5 most expensive players released:
1. Ben Stokes was bought by Chennai Super Kings for Rs 16.25 crore.
2. Harry Brook was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 13.25 crore.

Before the IPL 2024 auction, Mumbai Indians made a trade to include Hardik Pandya in the team. He was bought by Gujarat Titans for Rs 15 crore. If Mumbai Indians had bought Pandya directly, there would have been no money left in their purse at the time of the auction. For this reason, Mumbai Indians have traded Cameron Green with RCB in an all-cash deal.
