Australian batter Travis Head will play for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League 2024 following the events at the IPL Mini Auction on December 19, 2023, in Dubai. Head, who led Australia to a sensational win in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Final just over a month ago, was the subject of a bidding war between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad, with the latter bagging him for 6.80 Crore INR in the end.

Twenty-nine-year-old Head debuted for the Australia T20 International team in early 2016; he would make his One Day International debut for the Aussies later in the same year. With time, the batter became a significant cog in the all-conquering Australia machine, adding an extra dimension to the team through his power and precision while also pitching in with the ball when required. His 137 runs in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 final helped Australia beat hosts India in the Ahmedabad-based final.
Earlier in the day, Rajasthan Royals bagged West Indian smasher Rovman Powell for 7.40 Crore INR while Delhi Capitals later thwarted a challenger from the Royals to secure the services of Harry Brook for 4 Crore INR. Steve Smith, Rilee Rossouw, Karun Nair, and Manish Pandey went unsold from Set 1.
