Gujarat Titans emerged victorious in the IPL 2024 auction by acquiring the services of 21-year-old tribal cricketer, Robin Minz, hailing from Jharkhand. The left-handed batter, known for his powerful hitting, became the center of a competitive bidding war among franchises, eventually joining the Gujarat Titans with a winning bid of Rs 3.6 crore.
Rising Star from Jharkhand
Robin Minz, originally from the Gumla district of Jharkhand, captured the attention of franchises, especially Mumbai Indians, who facilitated his training in the United Kingdom. Guided by experienced coach Chanchal Bhattacharya, Minz has showcased his talent in Jharkhand’s U19 and U25 teams, despite not yet representing the state in the Ranji Trophy.
Minz’s journey involves trials with various IPL franchises, including Lucknow Supergiants, Delhi Capitals, and Kolkata Knight Riders. His father, a retired army personnel now working at Birsa Munda Airport in Ranchi, reflects Minz’s humble background, living with his two sisters. Despite going unsold in the IPL 2023 auction, Minz’s significant payday in 2024 highlights his rising stature in the cricketing world.
What a day for 21-year-old Robin Minz

Comparisons and Endorsements
During the mock auction, Robin Uthappa drew parallels between Minz and the ‘left-handed Kieron Pollard,’ adding to the young cricketer’s promising profile. The endorsement underscores Minz’s potential to make a mark in the upcoming IPL season.
As Minz eyes his IPL debut, the competition for a spot in the playing XI may involve a showdown with experienced Indian wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha. The inclusion of Minz in the Gujarat Titans squad reflects the franchise’s belief in his long-term potential and ability to contribute significantly to the team’s success.
