The IPL 2025 Mega auction is all set to host maybe one of the best and highest auctions ever conducted in the long history of IPL. We can expect many big players in the auction pool and with an increased purse limit, all teams are in it for an extraordinary bidding war in order to build a world-class team.

What Did the Punjab Kings Head of Cricket Development Comment?

In a recent episode of TRP (The Rao Podcast), the guest was in fact former India batting coach and current Head of cricket development of the IPL team Punjab Kings. In the first episode when the anchor asks about the possibility of buying Rohit Sharma in the upcoming auction.

He stated by saying “It all depends on whether we have the money in our pockets or not because, if Rohit comes into the auction, I certainly believe that he is going to go for a very high price.” There is no denying that Rohit will be one of the most sought-after players in the big auction if he is not retained by MI.

There won’t be a lack of clubs vying for his services as captain. One side that has been connected to Rohit is the Punjab Kings (PBKS), who will require a new skipper after Shikhar Dhawan retired recently. Even though PBKS co-owner Preity Zinta denied reports that the team was trying to sign Rohit Sharma for the 2024 IPL season, things might be different for the 2025 mega auction.

Given the fact that Rohit Sharma and the Mumbai Indian owners have a special relationship, so considering that it would be very difficult to see Rohit leaving Mumbai Indians, even though Rohit is not the captain of Mumbai Indians, it seems like he will stay. However if in any case, Mumbai decides to let go of Rohit then it is sure that for a player of Rohit’s caliber, the price and competition will be at their peak.
