As the IPL 2025 mega-auction is just around the corner, the speculations are through the roofs about who can be the new big hits under the gavel. Mitchell Starc rewrote all the records in the last year’s auction with a staggering price of INR 24.75 crore.
The most obvious question that is doing the rounds right now is that who can be the big shits who can actually break the record with their own brand of charisma. Here are five players who can bag the price more or equal to INR 24.75 crore.
#1 Jos Buttler
The hard-hitting English sensation might break the bank for the franchises once again and he can be a sensational striker of the ball. It goes without saying that Buttler can be a game-changer and will certainly command a big enough price. However, whether he will cross the price of Mitchell Starc or not considering the price was in a mini-auction and this is a mega-auction, that will be a thing of speculation.
#2 Mohammed Siraj
The key RCB quick has proven his worth before and might just show it once again. Siraj has recently been making all the right noises in all formats of the game. With that being said, Siraj has the capability of drawing such a big sum of money but again his recent form stands in the way. However, a brutal force like Siraj with the new ball in his hands can command a lot of respect.
#3 Will Jacks
The hard-hitting English all-rounder may just be picked for a big sum, considering his success across all formats of the game. He can strike the ball by a fair mile and even better, he is fairly young. He also brings to the mix a fair balance of batting and bowling which can be a key element in determining his price.
#4 Rishabh Pant
The former Delhi captain and the Indian wicket-keeper might be one of the favourites in the auction market and franchises will make all the splash to land him in their rans. It goes without saying that he is a challenger and can completely flip the momentum of the game. Obviously he will be bagging a price of more than INR 20 crores and franchises will go all guns blazing.
#5 KL Rahul
Another key Indian batter who is being rated pretty highly and might just bag all the amount and even break Mitchell Starc’s amount is KL Rahul. The star batter who is going through a tough time in the Indian side can always regain his form and it goes without saying that a Rahul in form is deadly and menacing and will rewrite any bowler as per his will.
