IPL auction 2025: jwin7 Three teams could target Shreyas Iyer

jwin7 IPL 2024 champion captain Shreyas Iyer will be part of the first-line squad for the IPL auction, which is scheduled to be held in Jeddah on November 24-25.

The Mumbai batsman is expected to join a new team this time as Kolkata Knight Riders did not offer him an RTM card.

Here are three teams that are likely to chase Shreyas in the upcoming IPL mega auction:

delhi capital

With Delhi Capitals and Rishal Pant parting ways, the franchise may be looking for a new leader. Who better than the former captain who led the team to the IPL final?

For India, a reliable middle-order batsman is a valuable asset that most teams, including Delhi, are keen to acquire.

Additionally, his ability to dominate the spin bowling will be a great asset in the midfield.

king of punjab

Kings XI Punjab enters the auction with the largest purse, which has been a common occurrence over the years. The team was faced with the task of rebuilding nearly its entire roster, as it retained only two uncapped players. While Pant will be the priority, Kings XI Punjab have the financial resources to go after another big-name batsman like Shriyas who would be an excellent addition in the middle order.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore have the exciting Indian batting duo of Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar at the top of the list. There are reports that the team is keen on bringing back KL Rahul.

If the team overpays for Rahul, Shrias Iyer could be an ideal option.
