Harry Brook has been sold to the Delhi Capitals

In a surprising move during the IPL Auction 2024, Harry Brook, the promising English player, found a new home with the Delhi Capitals after being released by Sunrisers Hyderabad. Having been bought for a hefty sum of 13.25 crore in the previous season, Brook's mediocre performance led to a decline in his auction value, starting with a base price of 2 crore. Delhi Capitals initiated the bidding, with Rajasthan Royals also entering the fray, having shown interest in Brook in the past. The bidding war saw RR seemingly securing him for 3.8 crore, but Delhi Capitals decided to raise the stakes, ultimately acquiring Brook for 4 crore.

DC, revamping their middle order after a disappointing season, sees Brook as a valuable addition at a reasonable price, reinforcing their batting lineup alongside other potential signings like Rovman Powell.
