In the retention for the Indian Premier League, there were many big players who were not retained. Especially in the wicketkeeper category, when some players enter the auction, they will be attacked for bids. These are such players who are not only wicket-keeping but also have stormy batting as well as captaincy options. This is why teams will not shy away from spending money on these players. In such a situation, let us know about those 5 wicketkeepers who will prove to be hot picks in the mega auction.

Record bid may be made on Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan, who is out of the Indian cricket team, has not been retained by the Mumbai Indians team for IPL 2025. In such a situation, Ishan Kishan’s name will come in the auction in the wicketkeeper category. Ishan Kishan was retained by Mumbai for Rs 15.25 crore last season. Along with his wicket-keeping, Ishaan is also famous for his explosive batting. In such a situation, there may be a competition to buy Ishan Kishan in the auction.

All teams have their eyes on Rishabh Pant

Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh is in his best form. Pant was a part of the Delhi Capitals team last season, but the franchise decided not to retain him. In such a situation, Pant is on the radar of many teams. It is believed that Pant can be sold as the most expensive Indian player in IPL history.

KL Rahul is also included in the list

KL Rahul, who captained Lucknow Supergiants last season, was also not retained by the franchise. Along with batting, Rahul also does excellent wicketkeeping. Rahul has kept wickets for RCB, Punjab and Lucknow. Apart from this, Rahul is also an option for captain. This is the reason why there can be a fight in the auction for KL Rahul.

Punjab did not retain Jitesh Sharma

Wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma, who played for Punjab Kings last season, was not retained. Along with wicketkeeping, Jitesh Sharma also has the ability to bat destructively. Last season, Punjab Kings team had bought Jitesh for just Rs 20 lakh. In such a situation, a big bid is expected on Jitesh Sharma in the mega auction.

Teams will pounce on Jos Buttler

The Rajasthan Royals team also decided not to retain England’s destructive wicketkeeper batsman Jos Buttler. Although, Butler used to play only as a batsman for Rajasthan, now the window for wicket-keeping has also opened for Butler in the auction. Considering Jos Buttler’s record in T20 cricket, he may fetch a lot of money in the auction.
