No.1 bowler in T20 ranking did not find any buyer in IPL 2025 mega auction, base price was so many crores
Indian Premier League 2025, Mega Auction: Adil Rashid, the number 1 bowler in the ICC T20 ranking, has not found any buyer in the IPL mega auction. Rashid had kept his base price at Rs 2 crore.
The mega auction of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is going on in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In this, many big names like Kane Williamson, Ajinkya Rahane, Prithvi Shaw, and Mayank Agarwal have not found any buyers. Meanwhile, a shocking update has come to the fore. No one has bought England's star spinner and number 1 bowler in ICC T20 ranking, Adil Rashid.
Adil Rashid is the best white-ball spinner in England. No one has bid for him. The base price of Rashid was Rs 2 crore. This player of 32 years has taken 331 wickets in 262 white-ball matches for England since his debut in 2009.
However, up to now, Rashid has played in only three IPL matches, and another interesting fact is that of these three he played for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2021 edition. Currently, Rashid is ranked No-1 in ICC T20 ranking with 701 rating points. Nobody bought him despite being in the top ranking, which surprises me.
If we look at Rashid's T20 Career, the Afghan spin wizard has taken 126 wickets in 114 innings of 119 matches at an average of 24.27. During this, his economy has been 7.35.
