Irfan on IPL Auction: In the IPL 2023 auction, Mitchell Starc was bought by KKR for 24.75 cr and included in their team, which was the highest bid on any player in the history of IPL. Starc became the most expensive player in IPL history.
Now this time the mega auction is to be held. It is going to be interesting to see who will be the player on whom the highest bid will be made this time.
Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has reacted to this. Irfan has predicted the IPL 2025 auction and has named the player on whom the highest bid will be made. Irfan has predicted this by sharing a post on social media.
Irfan Pathan Predicts Big Spending at IPL 2025 Auction
Irfan has admitted in his post that this time money will rain on Rishabh Pant in the auction and he can break Mitchell Starc’s record. Irfan shared a post on social media and wrote, “Mitchell Starc’s auction record is in danger. Rishabh Pant is ready to break it.” This post of Irfan is going viral on social media.
All 10 teams are busy preparing a strong strategy for IPL 2025. After the release of the retention list, now all eyes are on the IPL mega auction. In the rapidly changing landscape of T20 cricket, the demand for all-rounders has increased significantly.
Why Rishabh Pant Could Attract Big Bids
The X-factor that Pant brings to the team will make him one of the most sought-after players in the auction. Many franchises including Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are ready to make record-breaking bids for a wicketkeeper-batsman like him.
For some franchises like Punjab and RCB, he can also be a strong captaincy option. However, it remains to be seen whether his old franchise Delhi Capitals (DC) makes any effort to buy him back in the auction.
