Chris Woakes, a potential catalyst for a bidding war among IPL franchises, was notably absent from the IPL 2023 Auction. As the IPL 2024 approaches, Woakes is poised to make a significant impact, eyeing redemption in the league.<\/p>\n
The English all-rounder boasts a history of impactful IPL performances. In the 2017 auction, Kolkata Knight Riders acquired him, and Woakes showcased his prowess by claiming 17 wickets in 13 matches, with standout figures of 3\/6 highlighting his effectiveness. Moving to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2018, he delivered with eight wickets in five games. Despite being released in 2019, Woakes secured a spot with Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 2020 auction, although he opted out of the tournament to stay fresh for England\u2019s Test season. Now, with his eyes set on IPL 2024, Woakes aims to make a triumphant return to the league.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
