Rovman Powell, the explosive West Indies batter, initially purchased by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (2017) for 30 lakhs, didn’t get a chance to play that year. However, he gained prominence when Delhi Capitals (DC) acquired him for 2.80 crores in IPL 2022. In fourteen games, Powell scored 250 runs at a striking rate of 149.70. Unfortunately, he couldn’t replicate this performance the following year for Delhi, scoring only 7 runs in three games, leading to his release before the IPL 2024 auction.

Powell, entering the upcoming auction with a base price of INR 1 crཧore, presents an opportunity for teams to leverage his explosive power-hitting skills in the middle-order.

Five teams that could bid for Rovman Powell in IPL 2024 auction:

  1. Chennai Super Kings (CSK):

CSK might consider acquiring Powell due to his explosive batting style and ability to provide a quick acceleration in the middle overs. With a base price of INR 1 crore, Powell could be an affordable yet impactful addition to CSK’s middle order, complementing their batting firepower.

2. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR):

KKR, known for their aggressive approach, may target Powell to strengthen their middle-order batting. Powell’s ability to clear the boundaries and contribute with quick runs aligns with KKR’s strategy of aggressive batting in the T20 format.

3. Punjab Kings (PBKS):
