It may also fall short by Rs 30 crores! Record bids may be placed on these star players in IPL 2027 auction

IPL News: The final of IPL 2026 will be played on May 31 at Narendra Modi Stadium, but before that discussions have intensified regarding the release of players. The biggest name in this list is Hardik Pandya. In 2024, Mumbai Indians replaced Rohit Sharma and made Hardik the captain, but after three seasons this decision did not prove successful for the team. Due to continuous poor performance and questions on captaincy, there is speculation that Mumbai may release him.

Record bid may be made on Hardik

However, despite the struggle in captaincy, Hardik’s value has not reduced. He had made Gujarat Titans champion in the very first season. His all-round ability and experience in big matches make him very special. If he enters the auction then many teams can spend huge amount to buy him. In such a situation, it would not be surprising to see a bid of more than Rs 30 crore for him.

Suspense on Rishabh Pant’s future also

Rishabh Pant’s name is also included among those players whose team can release him. Lucknow Super Giants bought him for Rs 27 crore in the 2025 mega auction, but the team could not progress beyond the league stage in the last two seasons. In such a situation, it is expected that LSG management may take a big decision.

Pant’s captaincy and batting are still special

While being the captain with Delhi Capitals, Pant’s win percentage was 54.64, which shows his leadership quality. Apart from this, his aggressive batting and ability to win matches in international cricket is not hidden from anyone. This is the reason why if he comes in the auction, many franchises will be ready to make big bids on him.

Nicholas Puran can also become hot property

Nicholas Pooran can also be included among the most talked about players of IPL 2027 auction. LSG pays him a salary of Rs 21 crore, but he could score only one half-century in the 2026 season. Despite this, his explosive batting, captaincy experience and ability to score runs quickly in the middle overs make him a very dangerous player. If he is released, there may be a race among many teams to buy him.
