IPL Auction: 5 released spinners who could start a bidding war
Spinners have played key roles for their teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL) since its inception in 2008. Several spinners could be hot properties in the upcoming IPL 2025 mega-auction.
3. Wanindu Hasaranga
Wanindu Hasaranga and Rashid Khan are two of the most lethal leg-spinners in white-ball cricket at the moment. However, the Sri Lankan has not been able to translate his international performances into the IPL arena as yet. The 27-year-old was at the center of a bidding war in the previous mega-auction ahead of IPL 2022. He was eventually roped in by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for a whopping INR 10.75 crore.
Hasaranga finished as the second-highest wicket-taker with 26 scalps from 16 matches in his first season. However, he missed a few matches in his second season due to injuries before being released by the franchise. Sunrisers Hyderabad roped him in ahead of last season for INR 1.50 crore but the 27-year-old had to miss the tournament due to a left heel injury. However, Hasaranga has been churning out some excellent performances for Sri Lanka and in the other leagues and it won't be a surprise to see him getting a substantial payday in the mega-auction.
