Harry Brook has been one of the most sought-after players in Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions, but he has struggled to deliver on expectations in the tournament. Despite this, his immense potential and ability to excel when utilized effectively could still make him a valuable asset at the auction table. In IPL 2023, Brook was among the highest-paid players, fetching a hefty ₹13.25 crore, but show a dip in IPL 2024 with Rs 4 crore. As the IPL 2025 mega auction approaches, his T20 expertise is likely to keep him in high demand.
3 Teams who could target Harry Brook in IPL 2025 mega auction
Pubjab Kings
Punjab Kings will be revamping their entire squad for IPL 2025. With Shikhar Dhawan announcing his retirement, the team will need a new captain and an explosive batter. Since Ricky Ponting took over the coaching position, he is likely to invest in young talent. Brook could flourish under Ponting’s coaching if PBKS decides to buy him.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Royal Challengers Bangalore will also need talented batters as they have released Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis. Brook could be picked by the franchise to strengthen their batting lineup. RCB has scored 3,358 runs in T20s at an average of 33.58, with a highest score of 105*.
Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals (DC) may have released Harry Brook, but there’s a strong chance they will either bid for him again or use the RTM card. With Tristan Stubbs already in the middle order, DC could benefit from adding another versatile player, and few fit that role better than Brook.
Known for his aggressive stroke play, Brook would thrive on Delhi’s flat pitches, which suit his style of hitting on the rise. Slotting him at No. 4 or 5, followed by Stubbs, would significantly bolster DC’s batting lineup, making them a formidable force.
