IPL 2025 Mega Auction: Many big names are included in the IPL 2025 mega auction. The name of star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is also included in this, who has kept a base price of Rs 2 crore. Obviously many teams will come in the race to buy Pant. Meanwhile, news is coming that Rajasthan Royals can also target Pant. But, let us tell you about 3 such reasons, due to which you will be able to guess that the Rajasthan team will not go after Pant under any circumstances.
Rajasthan will not bid on Rishabh Pant in IPL 2025 mega auction
1- RR has Sanju Samson as wicketkeeper.
Sanju Samson has been captaining Rajasthan Royals for the last 4 years. Even though the team may not have won the trophy under his captaincy, it has definitely traveled to the finals. Not only this, Sanju is an experienced wicketkeeper-batsman and with him, RR does not need any other wicketkeeper. Therefore, it would not be wrong to say that Rajasthan does not need both a captain and a wicketkeeper at present. As a result, he is not going to go after Rishabh Pant.
2- Backup wicketkeeper has been retained for 14 crores
Sanju Samson is the wicketkeeper of Rajasthan Royals and Dhruv Jurel is also present in the team as his backup. Rajasthan has retained Jurel by paying Rs 14 crore, so it is obvious that it would like to take full advantage of him. This young player has given match-winning performances for Rajasthan in previous seasons with his finishing ability.
3- Big name pressure
Even if Rajasthan Royals buy and add Rishabh Pant, it will be difficult for them to fit Pant in the playing-eleven. Not only this, a player of Pant's stature cannot even be left out of the final eleven. Therefore, Rajasthan will be saved from bidding in Pant's name.
