The IPL 2024 Auction ended on Tuesday at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai.
Gujarat Titans, the 2022 IPL champion and 2023 runner-up, had a solid outing at the auction, with the side roping in several key players.
Titans, who replaced Hardik Pandya with Shubman Gill as their captain after the former joined Mumbai Indians in a trade deal, splurged the most on Australian left-arm pacer Spencer Johnson (Rs. 10 crore).
Titans also managed to rope in Afghanistan pace-bowling all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai, possibly as a replacement for Pandya.
