From Venkatesh Iyer to Marco Jansen: Surprise picks expected to break the bank in IPL 2025 auction

Hindustan Times  

With more players than ever going under the hammer in the IPL 2025 auction, there is plenty of value to be found beyond the star names that are the key talking points in the auction pool. Kolkata, May 11 : Kolkata Knight Riders' Venkatesh Iyer plays a shot in a match against Rajasthan Royals during the Indian Premier League 2023, at Eden Gardens, in Kolkata on Thursday. With the ability to provide runs at the top and also contribute 2-3 overs of his pace bowling, Iyer provides the sort of balance and flexibility that any T20 team needs. Averaging 57.66 at a strike-rate of over 167 in his international career so far, Bethell’s teammates in Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone and Harry Brook are certain to fetch big money in the auction — but the 21-year-old southpaw with shades of Eoin Morgan in his batting will be one for the future who can also provide immediate impact in his first IPL season. From the Australian team, Josh Inglis provides runs and utility as a wicket-keeper, while Glenn Phillips’ turn as a spinner in New Zealand’s Test series win over India could find him some suitors as well.
