With seven marquee Indian names all set to snatch the spotlight in the IPL mega auction, let’s see which three quality names could start a bidding war.
The IPL 2025 mega auction is all set to happen soon, and the days can be counted on fingers, with November 24 and 25 being the key days. These two days will see many turnarounds, with big players set to wear new IPL jerseys. We can expect some teams to go all out to get big names into their mix. Seven Indians, including the likes of Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj, and Arshdeep Singh, have been placed in the marquee set for the IPL 2025 auction, and they are expected to fetch big amounts in the bidding war. Although there are a few big Indian names among these marquee players who could snatch substantial amounts, who are the other Indian players who could grab even more attention? Let’s look at three names from the marquee set who could snatch big amounts in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
KL Rahul
One of the most consistent wicketkeeper-batters, KL Rahul, is not enjoying consistent form currently, but he could still be one of the most in-demand players in the upcoming auction. Many teams, such as KKR, RCB, and DC, have released their wicketkeeper-batters, and all teams are looking for quality players to strengthen their mix. Rahul, with his experience in the IPL and over 4,000 runs in just 132 IPL games, along with a decent strike rate of 134.61, knows how to lead a team. There is no question that he will be a player to watch out for in the IPL auction, and it will be interesting to see how much money he attracts.
Rishabh Pant
Pant will go under the hammer for the first time since 2016 during the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction. Pant started his IPL career with Delhi Capitals, and now, after eight years, he will look for a new IPL team. Since he shares similar attributes to KL Rahul, and on top of that, he provides more aggressive batting compared to Rahul, we can expect an aggressive bidding war for him in the upcoming mega auction. Chances are that teams like Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings will likely bid for him.
Arshdeep Singh
Last but not least, Arshdeep Singh, who was the most successful Punjab Kings bowler last season with 19 wickets in 14 games, also has a commendable record for India. Having played 59 T20Is and claimed 95 wickets at an impressive average of 18.47, his stats are remarkable. In total, speaking of his IPL career, Arshdeep has taken 76 wickets in 65 matches at a bowling average of 27. These stats are enough to highlight how valuable this player is. While Punjab Kings may get him back via RTM, we can also expect a bidding war for him, as this young pacer is certainly a big name in the shorter format of the game.
