Veteran fast bowler James Anderson, who took the most wickets for England, had recently retired from international cricket. That's why he expressed his desire to play in the T20 cricket league. It has been 10 years since he played T20 match and now he wants to make a comeback in it through IPL. For this, he has also registered his name in the mega auction to be held for IPL 2025. Anderson has kept his base price at Rs 1.25 crore. Everyone is aware of his swinging ability and experience. In such a situation, many franchises can bet on him. Today we are going to talk about 5 such teams, which will need Anderson the most and can bid for him in the mega auction.

These teams need Anderson

Chennai Super Kings can be the first to buy Anderson, who is among the star players, in this event to be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on 24 and 25 November. The biggest reason behind this is Anderson's experience. Chennai Super Kings has always been known for betting on older and experienced players. There are many examples like Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis. Apart from this, this year the Chennai team has retained only Mathisha Pathirana as a fast bowler. In such a situation, they will need more fast bowlers.

If she bets on Anderson, a tremendous combination of new ball and old ball will be created. While Anderson will be able to do wonders in the initial overs, Pathirana will be useful in the middle and death overs. Apart from Chennai Super Kings, Punjab Kings need Anderson the most. Because Punjab has also released Arshdeep Singh along with experienced bowler like Kagiso Rabada. In such a situation, he will also need experience in bowling. He will also have the most money in the auction. Despite Anderson's bid being high, Punjab will have the power to buy him.

Anderson will also be on their radar

Royal Challengers Bangalore has also released its oldest and experienced bowler Mohammed Siraj for the mega auction. Bengaluru has retained only Yash Dayal among the bowlers. But he lacks experience. Also, there has always been a shortage of good bowlers in Bengaluru. In such a situation, with the arrival of Anderson both the deficiencies can be filled simultaneously. He can bring balance to the team.

Till now the pairing of Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma was seen in Rajasthan Royals. Both were seen wreaking havoc with their swing. But this time Rajasthan has released Bolt. At the same time, fast bowlers have been seen getting help on the home ground of Rajasthan. In such a situation, Anderson can be a perfect replacement for Bolt. Gujarat Titans is the fifth team which needs Anderson, as it has also released its most premium bowler Mohammed Shami. In such a situation, Anderson could be the best option to replace him.
