Five Uncapped Players to Watch for Big-Money Moves in the IPL 2025 Auction

The IPL is renowned for discovering and nurturing young talent, with each season often producing breakout stars who go on to compete for spots in the Indian team. As we saw with Mayank Yadav and Harshit Rana in 2024, the 2025 IPL auction is expected to feature a fresh batch of uncapped players who could capture the attention of team selectors. Here are five such players who might be set for big-money moves:

  • Vaibhav Arora
    As the pace-bowling partner to Harshit Rana in KKR’s 2024 title-winning campaign, Vaibhav Arora impressed with his powerplay skills. Known for his ability to bowl both hard-length pace and maintain control, Arora stands out in a rare breed of Indian pacers. His solid performances in the playoffs have elevated him as a top contender for IPL franchises looking to strengthen their pace-bowling arsenal.

  • Ashutosh Sharma
    A standout performer for Punjab Kings despite the team’s lackluster season, Ashutosh Sharma’s finishing and power-hitting abilities are sure to attract attention. With a strike rate of 167, his ability to capitalize on good starts makes him an appealing prospect for teams in need of a strong middle-order hitter. At 26, Ashutosh could be poised for a big season, especially in a franchise that can provide solid opening partnerships to help him flourish.

  • Angkrish Raghuvanshi
    A promising young talent, Angkrish Raghuvanshi was the top scorer in the 2022 U-19 World Cup and showcased his potential in brief appearances for KKR. The 19-year-old top-order batter has a complete range of shots and the power to go with it, making him a potential future star in the IPL. With many franchises looking for strong domestic top-order options, Raghuvanshi’s potential could make him a highly sought-after player at the auction.

  • Rasikh Salam Dar
    Though Rasikh Salam Dar had a challenging 2024 with Delhi Capitals, his ability to pick wickets and generate pace is undeniable. The J&K pacer impressed in the Emerging Asia Cup, claiming 9 wickets in 4 games. While still developing, Rasikh’s potential as a third-seam bowler makes him a valuable prospect for teams looking to bolster their pace attack. As he continues to mature, his stock is likely to rise.

  • Abhinav Manohar
    Despite being underutilized by Gujarat Titans in 2024, Abhinav Manohar showcased his destructive batting skills in the Maharaja Trophy T20, amassing 507 runs at an average of 84.5 and a strike rate of 196.5. His ability to play in various middle-order positions makes him a versatile asset. With such impressive numbers, Manohar could prove to be a powerful weapon for whichever team secures his services in the upcoming auction.
