America's left-arm bowler Saurabh Netravalkar has surprised everyone with his performance in the T20 World Cup 2024. IPL teams are now eyeing this Indian-origin cricketer who plays as an opening bowler for America.

He has expressed the possibility of Netravalkar playing for RCB in the IPL 2025 season.

Sourav Netravalkar may join the RCB team

RCB coach Andy Flower has been impressed by Saurabh Netravalkar's bowling in the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Andy Flower has even said that not one but several teams would like to buy Netravalkar in the 2025 IPL mega auction. He also mentioned the possibility of Netravalkar playing for RCB in the IPL 2025 season. Flower said that "Saurabh Netravalkar is a foreign player, he has skills that are not completely certain at this time." He stressed the need to see him bowling against Indian right-handed batsmen to reach a definite conclusion about Netravalkar's abilities.

However, Andy Flower praised his performance in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Praising the 32-year-old fast bowler, Flower said that he might recommend the RCB management to pick him if he is available for the IPL 2025 mega auction.

He said, "I think his stock is skyrocketing. I must say I really enjoyed working with him in ILT20. He is a very smart and efficient person and a great player for the team. So without a doubt, people will look at him and think that this is a left-arm swing bowler who can also bowl in the last overs for us."

I will get so many crores..

Let us tell you that, in the T20 World Cup 2024, Saurabh Netravalkar has taken 6 wickets in 4 matches played so far with an impressive economy rate of 5.21 and an average of 12.17.

If Netravalkar continues to perform well in the T20 World Cup, then there is a possibility that he may get a big bid from the IPL team. In such a situation, it is believed that RCB would like to buy Saurabh Netravalkar for sure and can place a big bid of 7 to 8 crores on him in the auction.
