In a surprising turn of events at the live IPL 2024 auctions, Rilee Rossouw faced the unexpected fate of being the first unsold player, marking a dramatic start to the bidding extravaganza. Placed in Set 1, Rossouw failed to find a bidder, making him the center of attention as the first unsold player in the IPL 2024 auctions.
In the 2023 IPL auction, the South African powerhouse was a significant acquisition for Delhi Capitals, with the franchise securing his services for a substantial INR 4.6 crore. However, Rossouw struggled to live up to expectations, delivering underwhelming performances throughout the season.
Known for his explosive batting prowess, Rossouw’s numbers in the 2023 IPL were far from impressive. In nine matches, he could only muster 209 runs at an average of 29.85, prompting the Capitals to release him ahead of the IPL 2024 auctions. The bidding saga unfolded, but Rossouw faced the disappointment of going unsold in the latest auction, signaling a fresh chapter in his IPL journey.
