Following the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction, which witnessed a total expenditure of INR 230.45 crore across 72 players, including 30 overseas talents, one Australian cricketer, Ashton Turner, faced an unfortunate turn of events. Among the six Australians selected, Turner, set to play for the Lucknow Super Giants after being secured for his base price of INR 1 crore, encountered an unexpected setback.

Within 24 hours of his IPL 2024 auction selection, Turner endured a troubling injury during a Big Bash League (BBL) encounter while captaining the Perth Scorchers against the Hobart Hurricanes.

During this BBL match, when the Hurricanes were struggling at 75/5 after 11 overs, Turner, a part-time bowler, decided to contribute with the ball. However, after bowling just one delivery, Turner faced an unfortunate injury. Grimacing in evident discomfort, he had to leave the field immediately. His participation in the upcoming IPL season became uncertain due to this unexpected turn of events.

The injury raised concerns about the severity of Turner's condition, given his recent IPL contract. His return to IPL cricket after a hiatus since 2019 was a significant opportunity for him. Previously associated with the Rajasthan Royals in the cash-rich league, Turner's track record had been limited to a mere three runs across four matches.

However, amidst initial apprehensions, later reports suggested a more optimistic outlook. The injury might not be as grave as initially feared, offering a glimmer of hope for Turner's participation in the IPL 2024 season. There were even indications that he might be fit enough to bat if required, showing resilience despite the setback.

Despite this setback, Turner's determination and potential return to the field provide optimism for his IPL journey ahead. This unforeseen injury, following his auction selection, casts a shadow on immediate plans but doesn't extinguish hope for Turner's aspirations in the upcoming cricketing season.
