Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for IPL 2025. But before that, there is a mega auction of the tournament, in which star players of many teams can join other teams. In the mini auction held before IPL 2024, Mitchell Starc set the record of being the most expensive player in IPL history. Starc was bought by KKR for Rs 24.75 crore. Three players can break this record of Starc in the mega auction.
Rohit Sharma
There are constant discussions about Indian cricket team captain and former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma that the franchise will not retain him for IPL 2025. However, no official information has been revealed about Rohit’s release so far. If Rohit Sharma is released and his name comes in the mega auction, then there will be a competition among all the franchises to buy him. However, there are also reports that Lucknow Super Giants can bid up to Rs 50 crore on Rohit Sharma.
2. Phil Salt
Phil Salt, who played for KKR in the last season of IPL, performed brilliantly and scored 435 runs in 12 matches at an average of 39.55 and a strike rate of 182.01. However, there is no official information from Kolkata about releasing him yet. But if KKR does not retain Salt for IPL 2025 and he comes in the mega auction, then there is a possibility that he could be one of the most expensive players to be sold in the tournament.
3. Sam Curran
England all-rounder Sam Curran was bought by Punjab Kings in IPL 2023 for Rs 18.50 crore. The English all-rounder has also captained Punjab Kings on several occasions. In such a situation, nothing can be said about whether Punjab will release him or retain him. Yes, if Punjab does not retain him, then Sam Curran can be sold expensive once again.
