2. Maheesh Theekshana
Maheesh Theekshana is one of the most underrated spinners, even after some brilliant performances in the shortest format of the game. But he might be a prime target of many teams for IPL 2025's mega auction. The Sri Lankan mystery spinner's ability to contain the batter while striking at crucial moments has made him a valuable asset in T20 cricket.
Despite limited opportunities in IPL 2024, Theekshana has taken 25 wickets in 27 matches at an economy rate of 7.66. His breakthrough season was in 2022 where he claimed 12 wickets at a strike rate of 17.50. What sets Theekshana apart is his adaptability across all phases of the game and effectiveness against both left and right-handed batsmen. His experience playing in global T20 leagues and a good track record of exploiting the conditions make him a top contender for big purchases in this auction.
