Star Vijay Hazare Trophy performers who could get a deal at the IPL 2024 Auction
Ramandeep Singh
The 26-year-old did not rake in a bucketload of runs. However, his batting was more about impact. Ramandeep Singh scored 159 in 6 matches at an incredible strike rate of 157.42. The middle-order batter scored 80 (50) to help Punjab win their first match in VHT 2023. In his short IPL career, Ramandeep has 6 wickets and 45 runs in 5 matches.
Shashank Singh
The 32-year-old has had a career-best season. The all-rounder has scored 450 runs (5th highest) and taken 11 wickets in 7 matches. Shashank Singh has been bought at the IPL auction three times but has featured in just one season (2022). In 5 innings, Shashank has 69 runs at 17.25 while striking at 146.81.

Siddarth Kaul
So far, veteran pacer Siddarth Kaul has the most wickets (19) in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023. Part of the domestic circuit since 2007, 33-year-old Kaul has always strived to improve. Having played 8 editions of the IPL, the right-arm pacer is a tried and tested bowler with 58 wickets in 55 matches.
Urvil Patel
311 runs in 4 matches—that is how much Urvil Patel from Gujarat scored. The 25-year-old wicketkeeper batter was not part of the playing XI in 3 matches and yet ended the VHT 2023 as their highest run scorer. However, the most impressive thing about him was his strike rate of 134.05, which is what players strive to achieve in a T20 match. Having already been bought in an Indian Premier League auction before, Urvil might find a franchise in the IPL 2024 auction.
