Pant is among the high-profile Indian avid gamers within the public sale, to be hung on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, later now not being retained by means of Delhi Capitals. With him within the public sale, groups like Punjab Kings, Lucknow Tremendous Giants, Chennai Tremendous Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are anticipated to bid closely for him.
“I feel Rishabh Pant will go at around Rs 25-28 crores. He will definitely get the big bucks and become the highest-paid player in this auction. To afford Pant at such rates would be interesting to see, because I feel Punjab Kings may aim to get him, and so will RCB, for the role of leadership and as a wicketkeeper-batsman,” stated Uthappa on JioCinema.
Matching sentiments had been echoed by means of former Bharat opener Aakash Chopra. “I feel Rishabh Pant is going to become the most expensive player in the history of the IPL. If there is a good equation between Pant and Punjab Kings, then they will go hard for him, or else RCB becomes a very likely place for Rishabh Pant. But I believe other teams will also bid for Pant as well. Indian players are going to be the prime property in this mega auction.”
Uthappa additionally thinks DC will progress sun-baked on purchasing again Shreyas Iyer, who was once with the franchise from 2015 to 2021. “DC will go hard for Shreyas Iyer, and he should go within the bracket of 15-20 crores, and du Plessis above 10 crores. Indian youngsters like Nehal Wadhera and Ashutosh Sharma are a big part and the reason for the success of any team, and you want them to do really well. I think they will go for above 8 crores each.”
Chopra discussed that younger Australian opener Jake Fraser-McGurk may well be taken in by means of Punjab Kings, later a superb opening stint with DC in IPL 2024. “With Ricky Ponting being with Punjab Kings, I feel they will target Jake Fraser-McGurk, and they would be keen on having him.”
