In the auction of IPL 2025, he landed with a base price of Rs 2 crore, but Tom Bantan of England could not fit in the pocket of any team. They did not find any buyer. So, they did not get a license to play IPL. But, they say that what happens is for good. Bantton, who was not sold in IPL 2025, has now scored the biggest score in 150 years, playing in the Division 1 match of County from Summerset. He did this unmatched feat against Vurcester.
