Ashish Nehra praised

Ashish Nehra on Jasprit Bumrah: The franchises have spent a lot of money on players in the mega auction organized for the upcoming IPL 2025. Many uncapped players and some international cricketers became rich. In which Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer broke all the records. LSG paid Pant Rs. 27 crores while Iyer was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs. 27 crores. Bought for 26.75 crores. These are the two largest bids in league history.

Not a great cricketer but this cricketer is the most valuable one
Not Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli or MS Dhoni but former bowler Ashish Nehra has given a big statement regarding Jasprit Bumrah. After the end of the auction, Gujarat Titans coach Ashish Nehra has praised Indian fast bowler Bumrah. Nehra said that if Bumrah had been in the auction, even Rs 520 crore would not have been enough to buy him. Here, let us tell you that these three legendary Indian batsmen were retained by their franchises before the auction. MI retained Rohit, RCB retained Virat and CSK retained Dhoni.

What did Nehra say?

Praising Bumrah’s captaincy in the first match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Nehra said, ‘Jasprit Bumrah has performed so well as a bowler many times. At present Rohit Sharma is not playing and he was captaining the team in the first match of the tour. Naturally Bumrah will also be under a lot of pressure, but the way Bumrah has handled the pressure is commendable.

520 crores would have been less

Nehra further said, ‘The way Bumrah led the team after whitewashing the Indian team 3-0 at home against New Zealand is worth watching. You can’t beat Jassi (Jasprit Bumrah). If Bumrah had been in the auction, anything could have happened. The purse of Rs 520 crore for IPL teams also reduced.
