Jasprit Bumrah plays for Mumbai Indians in IPL.
Team India’s former veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has made a surprising claim about Jasprit Bumrah. Bhajji says that Jasprit Bumrah can easily get Rs 30-35 crore in the auction every year in IPL. Harbhajan has also given the reason behind this that how can Jasprit Bumrah get so much money in the IPL auction.
It is noteworthy that the most expensive player of IPL so far is Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc. He was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders i.e. KKR for Rs 24.75 crore in the 2024 mini auction. Harbhajan believes that Jasprit Bumrah can leave behind even the Australian legend.

Let us tell you that, before the mega auction of IPL 2022, Mumbai Indians had retained fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for Rs 12 crore, but this time there is a possibility that he will be retained for at least Rs 18 crore before the mega auction of IPL 2025. Will be. If Mumbai Indians takes the risk of releasing him, then they can use RTM i.e. Right to Match card in the auction, but the team may have to pay a heavy price for this.
Actually, recently BCCI has issued rules regarding retention of IPL. Each team will have the option to use a maximum of 6 Right to Match (RTM) cards in the IPL 2025 mega auction, but the number will depend on how many players the team retains before the auction.
