The IPL 2025 mega auction is all set to take place in the last week of November. All the franchises have already released the list of their retained player and now they will be building up the rest of the team from the mega auctions.
Indian Premier League has been the backbone of Indian cricket and it has given some of the best cricketers to the senior team. Another reason why IPL is always part of the international media is that cricketers from across the globe participate in the mega auction with the hope of receiving a hefty contract.
IPL is the most cash-rich league in the world and it can change the lives of the players from any part of the world. There are 10 teams who have a big amount in their wallet and they can offer any amount of contract to a talented player in the mega auction. IPL online betting will also pick up the pace as the new season comes closer.
Over the years, the league has changed a lot and the inclination is to find a balanced team that can maintain consistency in winning the games. Some big names who will appear during the auction might go for a big price and there will be some names who might go empty-handed.
In this article, we have compiled a list of some of the best bowlers from across the globe who are appearing in the mega auction and who might spark a bidding war among the franchises.
1) Arshdeep Singh
It came out as a shock when Arshdeep Singh was named in the retention list of Punjab Kings. Arshdeep Singh made his debut in the Indian Premier League in 2019 with Punjab Kings but after 5 years of service, the player might not be seen wearing the same jersey. He is the leading wicket-taker in T20 format for India in 2024 and he is also known for his deadly death over bowling in the league.

2) Yuzvendra Chahal
The Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is known for his performance in the Indian Premier League. He is the leading wicket-taker in the league and carries an immense experience of bowling under pressure in IPL. Chahal was released from Rajasthan Royals this year and hence he will be appearing in the mega auction. The only part that might play against him is his absence from international cricket.

3) Jofra Archer
Jofra Archer has been one of the unluckiest English pacers who has struggled constantly with injuries. After making his debut for the league in 2018, Archer was absent from the competition from 2021-22. In 2023 he again made a comeback with Mumbai Indians but was injured after playing 5 matches and he was absent in the previous edition because of the same injury. Mumbai Indians have released Archer from their squad and he might ignite a bidding war among other franchises.
