Sarfaraz Khan had entered his name in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction. Find out if he was picked by any team.
Sarfaraz Khan is emerging as a potential future star for India in the red-ball format, thanks to his impressive performances in recent matches. However, despite his success in Tests, he has yet to showcase his talent in the shorter formats of the game. The batter put his name forward for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction after going unsold in previous editions.
Is Sarfaraz Khan playing in IPL 2025?
After making his India debut in 2024, batter Sarfaraz Khan likely hoped to secure a spot in the IPL. However, he went unsold in the auction and will miss out on the upcoming season. No franchise showed interest, possibly due to the perception that Sarfaraz is primarily a red-ball specialist and may struggle to adapt to the fast-paced T20 format.
Sarfaraz Khan IPL stats
Sarfaraz was bought by PBKS for INR 25 lakh ahead of the 2019 season and was retained for 2020. In 2019, he played eight matches, scoring 180 runs. While his 2020 season was average, Sarfaraz remains hopeful and confident in his abilities, ready to support PBKS with his unorthodox shots in the 14th IPL season. He has the potential for a breakout knock that could propel him into the limelight.
