In a surprising twist during the IPL 2024 Auctions, former Australian captain Steve Smith faced an unexpected setback as he went unsold, failing to find a buyer for the upcoming season.
Tom Moody, the ex-coach of SunRisers Hyderabad, who guided the team to victory in the 2016 IPL, made intriguing predictions ahead of the auction. Moody expressed skepticism about Steve Smith’s prospects, stating his belief that the experienced batsman might not find a place in any team this year.
Moody also shared bold expectations for Mitchell Starc, foreseeing the Australian pacer surpassing the current all-time auction record set by Sam Curran at Rs 18.50 crore. According to Moody, Starc is poised to break this record, potentially setting a new benchmark in IPL auction history.
