IPL 2025: The IPL 2025, which will be preceded by the mega-auction, has been much anticipated over the likely big budget signings awaiting us. With the teams releasing many of their important players, all teams will have a strategy that includes fresh players on the side.

However, not only the teams but also the players have set their standards for certain teams and are looking at the auction for a chance in the Indian Premier League. The likes of the most fine players among Rinku Singh, Manohar, Padikkal, and such.

Rinku Singh is one of Kolkata Knight Riders’ asset players who emerged as one of the finest ever talents produced for the Indian team. Singh failed miserably in the last season and might be dropped from the KKR side as they would not look to capture a spot in order to retain him.

However, what is the biggest concern for the Knight Riders would be that if they release Rinku Singh, then his price range may be as high as it could get. Hence, Rinku’s threatened price range would be a concern; however, if he is not retained by the Knight Riders, he has shown interest in playing alongside the mighty Virat Kohli for the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The next man on our list of interesting players would be Ayush Badoni. The young right-handed batter has been part of the LSG franchise in the IPL since 2022, though this time around with a high chance of him entering the mega-auctions, Badoni can be acquired by many teams.

Badoni has recently been seen captaining the South Delhi Superstarz in the ongoing Delhi Premier League, and he has set the stage for himself in the very first outing of the season as he led his team to a commanding victory over Rishabh Pant-led Purani Delhi-6.


The batter-turned-part-time bowler first picked a wicket, giving way to only 27 runs in his spell. Later, he came in to bat at No. 3 after a firm start and hit six sixes in his 57-run innings, which he scored at an alarming rate of 196+. After this amazing performance, he will be one of the most desired uncapped players in the mega-auction.
