The mega auction of IPL 2025 will be a big exciting event not only for the players but also for the fans.
Cricket lovers are eagerly waiting to know which player will be a part of which team and which team will include which player in their team.
According to sources, all eyes are on KL Rahul’s position in the IPL 2025 mega auction as it is expected that the team can spend a huge amount of money to buy him this time.
KL Rahul was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for a whopping Rs 17 crore in IPL 2022.
Under his captaincy, Rahul led Lucknow Super Giants to the final that season, though the team suffered a defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans. After this, there was a lack of stability in the team of Lucknow Super Giants under the captaincy of Rahul.
In IPL 2024, the performance of Lucknow Super Giants under the captaincy of Rahul was very disappointing.
Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka and KL Rahul have been at loggerheads with each other ever since the franchise’s inception.
Now there are reports that KL Rahul’s three-year contract with Lucknow Super Giants has ended and the franchise is in no mood to extend it further.
Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings are looking forward to adding KL Rahul to their squad.
According to sources, Punjab Kings are willing to spend up to Rs 35 crore to buy KL Rahul, and it is likely that he can be appointed captain again like in 2020 and 2021.
There are reports that the BCCI has increased the value of the purse of IPL franchises, and there are reports that teams can enter the auction with a budget of Rs 130 to 140 crore. In such a situation, there can be a deep competition between the franchises for the possible purchase of KL Rahul.
The mega auction of IPL 2025 is going to be an important and exciting event for Indian cricket lovers.
