The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is just three days away, with the mega event scheduled for November 24-25 in Jeddah. Devdutt Padikkal, who has been selected for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy just a day before the Perth Test, is expected to be in high demand at the IPL 2025 mega auction. With Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill unavailable, Padikkal is likely to open at the Perth Cricket Stadium. This presents him with a golden opportunity to showcase his talent and make a strong case for the IPL 2025 auction.
3 Teams who will target Devdutt Padikkal in the IPL 2025 mega auction
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
RCB seeks a reliable opener to pair with Virat Kohli after releasing Faf du Plessis. Devdutt Padikkal, with prior experience and a strong debut season, fits the role perfectly. His familiarity with the team and left-handed batting could bring balance and depth to RCB’s predominantly right-handed top order.
Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings might also consider Devdutt Padikkal as they look for an opener. Padikkal could thrive under MS Dhoni’s leadership, learning the art of match-winning strategies while showcasing his explosive batting skills.
Delhi Capitals
With no retained openers, Delhi Capitals will seek talented Indian options. Devdutt Padikkal, 24, aligns with their aggressive batting style, offering versatility against pace and spin. His ability to anchor or accelerate innings makes him a valuable asset and a promising long-term investment for the team.
