3 equipos que podrían apuntar a Umran Malik en la subasta IPL 2025

IPL 2025 Auction: Umran Malik, often referred to as the “Jammu Express” due to his blistering pace, made his IPL debut in 2021 with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Since then, he has played 26 matches in the IPL. Known for his express pace, he has picked up 11 wickets in the tournament so far. Ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, several reports have emerged that SRH will likely release Umran Malik for IPL 2025. Let us check out, 3 teams that might target Umran Malik in IPL mega auction.

Teams that might target Umran Malik for IPL 2025 Auction

Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

The Yellow Army under the tutelage of Ruturaj Gaikwad failed to qualify for the playoffs by finishing fifth on the table. For sure, the ambitious team will be hungry to sign the right players in the upcoming auction and Umran Malik is one of the names who will be in CSK’s radar. History tells us that CSK can turn raw talent into potential match-winners and the youngster’s raw pace is an asset that can be honed to perfection.

Mumbai Indians (MI)

The Mumbai-based franchise are the second most successful franchise in the tournament’s history with 54.40 win percentage. Under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy, MI hit the rock-bottom of the points table, managing only four wins and succumbing to ten defeats. The five-time IPL champions have a tradition of investing in raw talent and signing Umran Malik could do a world of good. In addition, the Wankhede pitch that offers good bounce is tailor-made for pacers. Malik’s sheer pace could be devastating on such tracks.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

KKR are the third-most successful team in the IPL with three trophies so far. They defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 final to win their third title. The defending champions would definitely want to invest in a young talent like Umran Malik. The Jammu Express could revamp their bowling unit, which would give them a cutting edge to spice things up in the powerplay and at the death on bouncy and fast pitches.
