IPL 2025 Mega Auction: The mega auction for the Indian Premier League 2025 will be held in November this year. The retention process was completed before the mega auction. There were some players who were not retained. In such a situation, there can be a lot of money raining on them in the mega auction. There were many big players in the retention for the Indian Premier League who were not retained.
Especially in the wicketkeeper category, when some players will enter the auction, there will be a rush for bids on them. These are such players who are not only wicketkeeping but also have options for stormy batting as well as captaincy. This is the reason why teams will not shy away from spending money on these players. In such a situation, let us know about those 5 wicketkeepers who will prove to be hot picks in the mega auction.
Ishan Kishan, who is out of the Indian cricket team, has not been retained by the Mumbai Indians team for IPL 2025. In such a situation, Ishan Kishan's name will come up in the auction in the wicketkeeper category. Ishan Kishan was retained by Mumbai for 15.25 crores last season. Ishan is famous for his wicketkeeping as well as explosive batting.
In such a situation, there may be a competition to buy Ishan Kishan in the auction. Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh is in his best form. Pant was a part of the Delhi Capitals team last season, but the franchise decided not to retain him. In such a situation, Pant is on the radar of many teams. It is believed that Pant can be sold as the most expensive Indian player in IPL history.
KL Rahul, who captained Lucknow Supergiants last season, was also not retained by the franchise. Rahul also does excellent wicketkeeping along with batting. Rahul has done wicketkeeping for RCB, Punjab and Lucknow. Apart from this, Rahul is also an option for captain. This is the reason why there can be a fight in the auction for KL Rahul. Wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma, who played for Punjab Kings last season, was not retained. Jitesh Sharma has the ability to do destructive batting along with wicketkeeping. Last season, the Punjab Kings team bought Jitesh for just 20 lakhs. In such a situation, a big bid is expected on Jitesh Sharma in the mega auction. Rajasthan Royals also decided not to retain England's destructive wicketkeeper batsman Jos Buttler. However, Butler used to play as a batsman for Rajasthan, but now the window of wicketkeeping has also opened for Butler in the auction. Looking at Jos Buttler's record in T20 cricket, money may rain on him in the auction.
