IPL Auction: The mega auction of IPL 2025 is being held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and so far many players have been bid historically in this auction. So far the biggest bid in IPL history has been placed on Rishabh Pant. Lucknow Super Giants have made Rishabh Pant a part of their team by bidding Rs 27 crore.
But today through this article, we are going to tell you about a player who, if he had come in the IPL auction, could have easily been sold for up to Rs 40 crore. But he does not participate in the IPL auction.
This player could have been the most expensive
Actually, the player we are talking about is none other than Indian cricket team’s legendary fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Jasprit Bumrah is currently the best fast bowler in the world and his presence in any team is a good fortune for that team.
In such a situation, if he had come in the IPL auction, he could have easily been sold for Rs 40 crore. But he has been a part of Mumbai Indians continuously for the past several seasons. Mumbai has retained him for Rs 18 crore for the IPL 2025 season.
Jasprit Bumrah has been retained for 18 crores
Let us tell you that Mumbai Indians have retained a total of 5 players for IPL season 18 i.e. IPL 2025. Along with Jasprit Bumrah, MI has also retained Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma. 5-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians have retained Jasprit Bumrah as the most expensive player compared to the other four players. But his real price is more than Rs 30-40 crore, because during the IPL 2025 auction, many ordinary players have also got big bids.
Jasprit Bumrah’s IPL record
30 Years old Jasprit Bumrah has played only 113 IPL matches so far. But during this time he has taken 165 wickets. His best bowling figure in IPL has been 5 wickets for 10 runs. His best season in IPL history has been the 2020-21 season. During that time he did the feat of taking 27 wickets in 15 matches. In IPL, he has taken 4-4 and 5-5 wickets twice.
