00:00Shardul Thakur might have gone unsold in the last round of IPL 2025 Mega Auction.
00:11He has become the 7th player who has gone unsold and only 2 players have been bought so far.
00:17So Shardul Thakur, the first player of set no. 14 has been unsold.
00:21No team has shown interest but it is not that they will not get a buyer.
00:24They can get a buyer.
00:26So the second player of set no. 14, will he get a buyer?
00:33Washington Sundar, will he get a buyer or not?
00:35He will get a buyer.
00:36He is playing with the Indian team.
00:38He has made history in Australia.
00:41He is playing well.
00:43And as an off spinner, he can get 2-3 overs in the first 6 overs.
00:50So he can go with any team.
00:53And this will go against him because he is coming late.
00:59So no team will chase him for a long time.
01:02So he might get a buyer at a low rate.
01:05Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans are showing interest.
01:08Chennai Super Kings are also showing interest to buy Washington Sundar.
01:12It is possible that they are looking for Ashwin's replacement.
01:15What if Ashwin gets injured?
01:17Because between Gujarat and Chennai Super Kings,
01:22Washington Sundar is in a hurry to buy.
01:26Lucknow Super Giants have also returned to the game.
01:29So it is possible that one of Lucknow and GT will lose.
01:33Because Chennai does not have that many purses.
01:35So it will be interesting to see because Bolly has crossed 3 crores.
01:38How much will you buy Washington Sundar?
01:40Do tell us by commenting.
01:42The accelerator round is about to start.
01:44And the players will be bought and sold quickly.
01:47So for now, Bolly is on Washington Sundar.
01:50Washington Sundar is giving a tough fight between Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans.
01:58We have to think about who will get a buyer.
02:01Because I think RCB can also go.
02:03RCB will get a good office winner in the batting powerplay.
02:06And they have already played with RCB.
02:08Gujarat Titans have bought Washington Sundar for 3 crores and 20 lakhs.
02:13Gujarat Titans have bought Washington Sundar for 3 crores and 20 lakhs.
02:18So here you will also get Washington Sundar for sale.
02:23And now it will be interesting to see who is the third player of set number 14.
02:30Because here the performance of the match is different.
02:35But now there is no purse left.
02:37Yesterday we were talking about 600 crores.
02:41So Sam Karan is the third player of set number 14.
02:46So Sam Karan should get a buyer.
02:48And RCB should go.
02:50Not just RCB, CSK should also show interest.
02:53Because they will get a fast bowling all-rounder overseas.
02:57So it is very interesting to see.
03:00In the last season, expensive players were sold.
03:05So there is a base price of 2 crores for England.
03:08Which was the 2021 World Cup.
03:10He was also the man of the match in the final.
03:13Because of that, their stocks were raised a lot.
03:16And last time Punjab Kings bought it at a very high price.
03:19So there is a contest between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings.
03:26Chennai will raise its hand after 4-5 crores.
03:28Chennai will not be able to go more than 5 crores.
03:30Punjab can go.
03:31They have a lot of purse left.
03:32So here we are talking about Sam Karan.
03:35Which team do you want Sam Karan to play for?
03:37Do tell us in the comments.
03:39And which team do you want him to play for?
03:41Till then we will keep telling you.
03:43So here in Sam Karan, Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings.
03:46Between two Kings.
03:48There is a clash between a former Super King and a former Punjab King.
03:54And both need this.
03:56Actually, both the teams are desperate for Sam Karan.
04:00And if we think about Sam Karan personally.
04:04It would be better for him to go to Chennai.
04:06Because when he played for Chennai.
04:08His career graph was also very high.
04:11In 2020, the way this player played alone.
04:15It was a very bad year for Chennai.
04:17So Chennai can be a good team there.
04:19Chennai will go up to 5-6 crores.
04:21And Punjab, because you don't have that much money.
04:23You have only 22 crores.
04:25You know that the all-rounders will come.
04:27And you have bought the right players.
04:29You have bought Shreyas Iyer.
04:31You have bought 2-3 more important players.
04:35Because of whom you can win the match.
04:37So you can also invest money on Sam Karan.
04:39And with Punjab, you can also use the Punjab RTM.
04:42But do they have any players left?
04:44No, because you have Glen Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis as players.
04:48So you can invest that much.
04:50But he is a fast bowling all-rounder.
04:52There is a difference.
04:53Stoinis is a fast bowling all-rounder.
04:54And he is a medium pace.
04:56So the all-rounders have got Glen Maxwell again.
04:59I am sorry.
05:01Sam Karan.
05:02Sam Karan.
05:03So I think this is a good thing.
