“RCB, CSK, MI, GT and KKR want him”: Aakash Chopra names a player who will go for INR 25-30 crore in IPL 2025 mega auction

Aakash Chopra said that Rishabh Pant might fetch a high price if he comes to the IPL 2025 mega auction. He mentioned that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Mumbai Indians would be interested in him.

The IPL franchises must submit their retention lists by October 31. According to reports, Delhi Capitals might release Pant.

Aakash further said Heinrich Klaasen, Nicholas Pooran, Sanju Samson, and Jos Buttler might be retained for massive sums.

“It is being said that Rishabh Pant might come to the auction. Although his numbers in T20 cricket are not good, I can give you in writing that the bank would be broken if his name comes in the auction,” he said.

“RCB would need him, Delhi would want him back. KKR also need him. CSK would also go for his name. If Ishan Kishan is left out, Mumbai would also need him,” he added.

Chopra reckons he might be bought for INR 25 to 30 crore.

“Rishabh Pant might go for INR 25-30 crore. Everyone apart from Rajasthan Royals would need him. Gujarat will also need him. They don’t have a wicket-keeper.”

In 13 innings of IPL 2024, he scored 446 runs at a strike rate of 155.40.
