IPL Mega Auction: Irfan Pathan’s big prediction, Starc’s auction record is in danger, this Indian player will break it…..
Irfan Pathan. (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India’s former star all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes that wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant will break Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc’s record of being the most expensive player in IPL (Indian Premier League) history. Let us tell you that, Starc was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for Rs 24.75 crore during the IPL 2024 mini-auction. Mitchell Starc had overtaken his Australian teammate Pat Cummins’s price of Rs 20.50 crore in the same auction. Cummins was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). However, Pathan feels that Rishabh Pant can break that record in the upcoming auction as he will be the most sought-after player in the auction. This time, big names like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Venkatesh Iyer, Ishan Kishan will enter the IPL mega auction. Irfan Pathan tweeted on Twitter and wrote, ‘Mitchell Starc’s auction record is in danger. Rishabh Pant is ready to break it. Rishabh Pant was a part of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024 Rishabh Pant was earlier a part of Delhi Capitals and he has also captained that team. Pant was not retained this time and he is going to enter the auction. Lucknow Super Giants, KKR also did not retain their captains and both KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer will enter the auction. The mega auction is scheduled to take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A total of 574 players have registered their names for the mega auction, of which 366 are Indian and 208 are foreign players. There are a total of 81 players in the base price of Rs 2 crore. Now it remains to be seen whether this prediction of Irfan Pathan proves correct or not.

Royal Challengers Bangalore have retained Virat Kohli (21 crore), Rajat Patidar (11 crore) and Yash Dayal (5 crore) before this auction. The franchise has released big players like Faf du Plessis, Mohammed Siraj, Glenn Maxwell, Will Jacques and Cameron Green. Meanwhile, cricket commentator Aakash Chopra says that RCB will have to focus more on building a strong bowling unit in the auction. Even if the team is not able to buy back Mohammad Siraj, it will not make much difference. Weak bowling is the big problem of RCB Aakash Chopra said that the reason behind Royal Challengers Bangalore not winning a single trophy is bowling. Therefore, to build a strong bowling attack, the team will have to buy good players in the auction. He also said that the franchise also needs at least one good spinner. While talking in the video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, I have to prepare a good bowling attack. For this, even if I can’t bring Siraj, I won’t have any problem, but you have to find out where you can find good bowlers. Can you buy Kagiso Rabada because you have the money? “Can you buy Mitchell Starc because you have the money?” Can you find Mark Wood because you have money? Spend money and buy bowlers because the main problem behind ‘Ee Saala Cup Namde’ becoming ‘Ee Saal Bhi Cup Rahe De’ is bowling. For this you need at least one quality Indian spinner, if it becomes two then great, and you need to have good fast bowling options. Mohammed Siraj took 15 wickets in 14 innings at an economy of 9.18 for Royal Challengers Bangalore last season. Mark Wood did not play last season. At the same time, Kagiso Rabada and Mitchell Starc have been released by their franchises. Aakash Chopra stressed that Royal Challengers Bangalore must target Yuzvendra Chahal in the mega auction. Let us tell you, Chahal has taken 139 wickets for RCB in 112 innings at an economy of 7.58, he is the highest wicket taker for the franchise.
