There is not much time left for IPL 2025 to start. Mega auction is to be held in the last month of November and all the franchises must have started making their plans for it. Along with this, all the players will also be excited because they can get a huge amount in the auction.

Mitchell Starc was sold as the most expensive player in IPL 2024. KKR had signed him for Rs 24.75 crore. At the same time, it is expected that this record of Stark can be broken. There is one such foreign player in the mega auction of IPL 2025 on whom Kavya Maran, Preity Zinta and Nita Ambani can spend up to Rs 40 crore. Let us know, who is that player?

This player will break Starc's record in IPL 2025

There may be a shower of money on the players in the IPL 2025 auction and that too in huge amounts because this time the board has increased the purse limit from Rs 100 crore to Rs 120 crore. In such a situation, the players will have only money. Whichever player goes to the auction, franchises can spend money freely on him.

In the last auction, a total of Rs 45.25 crore was looted by the franchises including the money of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc. SRH included Pat Cummins and KKR included Mitchell Starc. At the same time, this time also only one foreign player can be sold at an expensive price and this is England bowler Joffra Archer.

Bid may cost Rs 40 crore

A bid of Rs 40 crore may be made for England's legendary fast bowler Joffra Archer. Nita Ambani, Kavya Maran and Preity Zinta would not hesitate to spend money on this player. The reason behind this is Archer's performance in IPL. Joffra has many times won the team matches on the basis of his batting. Meaning, in difficult situations his batting can become a lifeline for any team.

In the mega auction of IPL 2022, Mumbai Indians had added this bowler for Rs 8 crore but due to injury, he could not play in 2022 whereas he played the match in 2023. However, he returned as his injury worsened. Also, before 2023, Mumbai Indians had released this bowler. Let us tell you that in 2023, he played 5 matches for Mumbai and could take only 2 wickets.

Joffra Archer's IPL career

Let us tell you that Joffra Archer started his IPL career in 2018. He was signed by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 7.20 crore. He was a part of this team till 2021 but then he came to Mumbai Indians. He has taken 48 wickets in 40 matches so far in IPL.
