IPL 2025 Auction: 5 Uncapped Players Poised for Big-Money Signings

Five uncapped players that might have a significant effect on the event and earn large sums of money at the IPL 2025 auction.

When it comes to franchise competitions, the IPL is unique in that it finds and nurtures new talent via intense competition. Every franchise in the competition will have a roster of players who haven’t yet played for India but have the potential to be tomorrow’s stars because every season produces a star or two who always contend for slots in the Indian squad.

Who are the athletes who can make the Indian team selectors take attention in 2025, like Mayank Yadav and Harshit Rana did in 2024?

1. Ashutosh Sharma

Ashutosh Sharma is one of the bright lights in another quiet Punjab Kings campaign. Many people searching for a good player in that position will be interested in his finishing and power-hitting skills down the order. Ashutosh will perform better on a squad that can provide him with solid beginnings to build on, since he has a strike rate of 167 in his games. The 26-year-old may have a great season at a position where there is usually some shortage of domestic players.

2. Vaibhav Arora

One of the main players that went above and above to lead the Kolkata squad to the 2024 championship was Harshit Rana, who bowled with Harshit Rana at KKR. One of the players that teams may consider as a possible ace for their fast-bowling arsenal is Vaibhav, a powerplay bowler who offers both hard-length pace and control, two qualities that are distinctive to Indian pacers. He stands at the top of this category because of the playoff wickets he has taken.

3. AngkrishRaghuvanshi

Angkrish Raghuvanshi, a fresh and promising figure in Indian cricket, led the 2022 U-19 World Cup in scoring and shown why in short bursts with KKR. Despite his youth, the 19-year-old has all the attributes necessary to become the next Yashasvi Jaiswal, a pillar of his franchise, with all the shots in the book and enough of power in the tank. A huge auction is in store for the Delhi hitter since several teams are interested in domestic top-order talent to start off the bat or provide bench depth.

4. Rasikh Salam Dar

Rasikh Salam had a propensity for taking wickets that demonstrated his potential as a premier T20 bowler, despite the fact that he was very costly for the Delhi Capitals in a run-happy atmosphere in 2024. Rasikh is a work in progress who can pick up the speed on a good day, but clubs will see the J&K pacer’s potential if he takes nine wickets in four games at the Emerging Asia Cup. A decent third seam bowler who will only get better with practice.

5. Manohar Abhinav

In the Maharaja Trophy T20 event in Karnataka, Abhinav Manohar, who was underutilized as a finisher by the Gujarat Titans the previous season, displayed the full range of his ability. Manohar, who amassed 507 runs at an average of 84.5 and a staggering strike-rate of 196.5, was by far the greatest player on display. Those figures speak for themselves: whatever club acquires the seasoned batter from Bengaluru will have a very potent weapon in the wings that is ready to be unleashed at any middle order position.
