Major League Cricket 2024 attracted a lot of viewers this time around. Hence, a few IPL teams would consider this league while planning for their squads next season. Here, we take a look at the list of three top performers in MLC 2024 who might be selected for the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions.
1) Finn Allen
With a strike rate close to 190, Finn Allen was in brilliant touch in MLC 2024. He also scored a lot of runs and that makes him an exciting option to have in the team.
Finn Allen was in RCB a few years ago but did not get a single game. Considering he is also a reliable wicket-keeper, he could be a must-have for some teams. The Kiwi is still young and would be an investment for the future. Therefore, many franchises could line up for him.
2) Steve Smith
Steve Smith is one of the top performers in MLC 2024 who might be selected for the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. The Australian cricketer was in brilliant form in the tournament. He finished as the second-highest run-getter and also won the tournament as the skipper.
There would be some teams who would like to have the experience and skills of Steve Smith at the top of the order. If needed, teams like Punjab Kings could also take him as the skipper. Hence, he is on this list.
3) Saurabh Netravalkar
The USA cricketer had a strong run in the 2024 T20 World Cup. With 15 wickets, he also finished as the highest wicket-taker of MLC 2024.
Saurabh is basically excellent with the new ball, especially with his movement and his angle. If not as the lead overseas pacer, as a backup, he would be a solid choice to have in the team. Mumbai Indians usually prefer to have two left-arm seamers in the squad. Therefore, such teams could target the cricketer.
