10 star players of India will enter the auction of IPL 2025

This time many IPL teams have taken big decisions. Some teams have placed bets on young players instead of senior players. In such a situation, this star player of Team India cannot be retained. The biggest names among them are Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. These three players will enter the auction this time. Teams of these players can be seen emptying their purse as much as possible. Ishan Kishan has also not been retained by Mumbai Indians. There was a lot of bidding on him in the IPL 2022 auction, which means Ishaan may once again be on the radar of many teams.

The most successful bowler of IPL, Yuzvendra Chahal has also not been retained. Apart from him, veteran spinner like Ravichandran Ashwin has also been released from the team. There is going to be a lot of demand for these two experienced spinners in the auction. On the other hand, fast bowler Mohammed Shami will also be a part of the mega auction, who can become the first choice of many teams. Players like Washington Sundar and Shardul will also be seen adding to the excitement of the auction. At the same time, Mohammad Siraj has also been released this time, although RCB can bet on him in the auction. Siraj has shown amazing performance in every format in recent times.

These three players are contenders for captaincy

This auction is going to be very important for Lucknow Super Giants, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore. These teams will be looking for good players as well as a new captain. In such a situation, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul can become rich in the auction. These three players have been captains of one or the other team till last season. Shreyas Iyer had even made Kolkata Knight Riders the champion of IPL 2024 under his captaincy. In such a situation, all these players can empty the purse of many teams during the mega auction.
