Saurabh Netravalkar to play in IPL 2025?

The Indian-origin USA player has grabbed the limelight during the T20 World Cup 2024 after his splendid performance in the marquee event.  

Saurabh Netravalkar bagged the highest wickets for his team in the tournament while his biggest achievement remained the dismissals of white-ball greats Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, and how he made an impact with the ball during USA’s triumph over Pakistan.  

His spell of 4-0-18-2 restricted the Pakistan to 159 after 20 overs, and he received the added responsibility to save the match by bowling the super over, in which he passed and led the USA to win.  

Netravalkar’s recent stint in MLC also ended on a positive note, as not just his side won the MLC 2024, he also secured the title of taking the most wickets in the tournament.  

With such impressive bowling stats and ability to save matches, Saurabh will likely to fetch a decent amount if he enters the IPL 2025 auction, but is he willing to play IPL?
