Teams who will target wicketkeepers in IPL 2025 mega auction

The IPL 2025 mega auction will occur November 24-25 in Jeddah. Here are the teams that will be looking for a wicketkeeper for their squads.

Every franchise will prioritize securing a reliable wicketkeeper at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction. While some teams have retained their keepers, others will need to scout for one on November 24-25. Chennai Super Kings have veteran MS Dhoni leading from behind the stumps. Similarly, Rajasthan Royals, Lucknow Super Giants, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Delhi Capitals have retained their wicketkeeping options. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans, and Kolkata Knight Riders will be in the market for a quality keeper to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season.

Teams who will target wicketkeepers in IPL 2025 mega auction

MI

Mumbai Indians have retained their star players, including Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Tilak Varma. However, they currently lack a wicketkeeper in their squad and will need to address this in the auction. They must also be mindful of their budget when investing in a keeper. Jonny Bairstow and Devon Conway are among the options MI could consider.

RCB

Royal Challengers Bangalore will also need to target a wicketkeeper in the auction, having retained only three players: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Yash Dayal. They may pursue big names like Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul during the auction.
