Ishan Kishan, IPL 2025: Ishan Kishan has been playing for the same team Mumbai Indians in the IPL for the past many years. During this period, he was released by military intelligence, but was later recalled after paying a heavy price. Now he is freed again. In this case, will the same story repeat itself with Ishaan? That is, will he leave for Mumbai Indians again or will we see him playing IPL for some other team next year. While many teams will be keeping an eye on him, one team will do whatever it takes to have him on their roster.

Mumbai spends huge sums to buy back Ishaan

Ishan Kishan was acquired by Mumbai Indians for Rs 15.25 crore. Even though the past few seasons have not been great for him, he also had to be dropped from the Indian team. Now he has also been released from his original team. However, Ishan Kishan also initially played in the IPL for the Gujarat Lions when Suresh Raina was the captain of the team. But he is only a batsman for Mumbai Indians. Importantly, Mumbai Indians were unable to bring back Ishan Kishan even under RTM, the match-right card on the day of the auction. Therefore, Ishaan will have to go to the team that bids higher.

Kishan can go to Gujarat Titans

Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan is likely to feature for Gujarat Titans in next year’s Indian Premier League. This time, apart from Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan, the players retained by the Gujarat Titans also include the names of Sy Sudarshan, Rahul Tewatia and Shah Rukh Khan. This means they are looking for a wicketkeeper-batsman. Ishaan Kishan is also open. That said, if they go to this team, then the brilliant pairing of Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan can be seen opening the innings for this team.

IPL needs wicketkeeper-bats

Anyway, in the IPL auction, the team is looking for an Indian wicketkeeper. Also, if he is the opening batsman, then that becomes the icing on the cake. What is certain is that the offer for Ishaan will also be high this time, which means that when his name comes up, whichever team has more money can take him away. Apart from Gujarat Titans, many other teams are also contenders in this regard. It remains to be seen what will happen on auction day.
