The IPL 2025 Mega Auction delivered a major surprise as Mumbai Indians opted not to bid for their long-time wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan.
In a bidding battle involving Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, SRH emerged victorious, securing the explosive left-hander for a hefty ₹11.25 crore.
Known for his fearless approach at the top of the order, Kishan has been a consistent performer in the IPL, making this move a significant shift in team dynamics.
With SRH aiming to rebuild their squad, Kishan’s inclusion is expected to add firepower to their lineup.
Meanwhile, MI’s decision to let go of the young star raised eyebrows among fans and experts alike.
The IPL 2025 Mega Auction is gearing up to be a spectacle, and one of the key questions is whether the Mumbai Indians (MI) will aim to re-sign their former star, Ishan Kishan. With a base price of Rs 2 crore, Kishan, a prolific wicketkeeper-batter, remains a prized asset for any team.
While MI retained key players ahead of the auction, their remaining purse of Rs 45 crore puts them in a tight spot compared to franchises with bigger budgets. However, Kishan’s explosive batting at the top order and his familiarity with MI’s system might make him a priority target.
Will Mumbai’s strategic planning allow them to reclaim Kishan, or will another team swoop in with a bigger bid? Watch the auction drama unfold to find out!
