In the Duleep Trophy 2024, 19-year-old Musheer Khan captivated cricket fans and selectors alike with a stunning performance for India B during the opening match against India A. The young prodigy scored an impressive 181 runs in the first innings, propelling his team to victory by 76 runs and showcasing his remarkable talent on a significant stage.
As excitement builds around the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction, many fans are speculating about which franchise will secure Musheer’s services. His extraordinary innings in the Duleep Trophy, coupled with a stellar performance at the 2024 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, where he finished as the second-highest run-scorer, has solidified his reputation as one of India’s brightest young cricketing prospects.
Teams who can bid for Musheer Khan in the IPL 2025 auction
1. Punjab Kings
The Punjab Kings are likely to pursue Musheer in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Notably, his brother, Sarfaraz Khan, played for Punjab from 2019 to 2021. With veteran opener Shikhar Dhawan‘s retirement leaving a gap in the batting lineup, Musheer’s inclusion could be a significant step for a franchise that is still seeking its first IPL title.
2. Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad had an impressive run in the IPL 2024 edition, finishing as runners-up. Known for their strong batting lineup featuring power hitters like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen, Hyderabad will be looking to add more players who can strike at a high rate. Musheer’s ability to deliver under pressure and his aggressive batting style would be a valuable asset for the team as they aim to go one step further and win the title in 2025.
3. Delhi Capitals
The Delhi Capitals, still in search of their maiden IPL trophy, may also be keen on acquiring Musheer. His versatility as a top-order batter who can contribute with the ball would be an asset to the team, particularly as they look to strengthen their lineup. Interestingly, Sarfaraz was part of the Delhi Capitals in the 2023 season, adding a familial connection that could influence Musheer’s decision.
