Rishabh Pant expected to attract bids over ₹25 crore in IPL auction, says Raina

Rishabh Pant is expected to attract significant bids in the upcoming IPL auction, potentially exceeding ₹25 crore. Former player Suresh Raina highlighted Pant's leadership qualities and on-field energy as key factors for team owners to pursue him. Arshdeep Singh, who performed well in a recent T20 series, was not retained by Punjab Kings. Raina noted that this could benefit Arshdeep in the auction, as he is a proven performer and could command a higher bid. Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians are looking to strengthen their spin attacks. Raina suggested CSK should target spinners like Maheesh Theekshana or Yuzvendra Chahal, while MI may also seek quality spinners and a wicketkeeper.
