Sarfaraz Khan did not play in the IPL 2024. However, he is considered one of the promising players for India's future.

Sarfaraz Khan is an emerging Test player for India, with a remarkable debut, scoring the fastest fifty in his first Test match. As one of the most talented players in the domestic circuit, he earned his spot in the Indian cricket team after delivering outstanding performances in recent years. After Shubman Gill’s absence from the IND vs NZ match, Sarfaraz was given a place in the squad. However, Sarfaraz did not play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Why did he miss out on the most prestigious league, and will he feature in the IPL 2025 mega auction? Let’s discuss the possibilities.
