In a noteworthy development during the IPL 2024 Auctions, Afghanistan’s dynamic all-rounder, Azmatullah Omarzai, found a new home as he was successfully bid on by Gujarat Titans at his base price of 50 lakhs.
Former Indian batter Aakash Chopra, a notable cricket pundit, had expressed confidence in Omarzai securing an IPL contract for the 2024 edition. Afghanistan’s performance in the World Cup 2023, where they secured a sixth-place finish with four wins, added to the anticipation around Omarzai’s potential IPL stint.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra lauded Omarzai’s impressive skill set, affirming that the all-rounder possesses qualities that make him a valuable asset in the T20 format. The endorsement came on the heels of Omarzai’s stellar performance, notably his unbeaten 97 against South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday, November 10. With this, Gujarat Titans have successfully added a promising talent to their roster for the upcoming IPL season.
