The unexpected release of left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh by Punjab Kings (PBKS) has sparked considerable interest among IPL franchises as the mega auction for the 2025 season approaches. With his consistent performances and ability to excel in high-pressure situations, Arshdeep is expected to be one of the hottest targets at the auction, scheduled for November 24-25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Here are the three teams who can target Arshdeep Singh in IPL 2025 auction:
1. Punjab Kings (PBKS)
Despite releasing Arshdeep, Punjab Kings may still opt to bring him back using their Right to Match (RTM) card during the auction. His familiarity with the team and proven track record as their leading wicket-taker last season – 19 wickets in 14 matches – make him a prime candidate for re-signing. Due to his experience and wicket-taking ability, he could once again become a cornerstone of PBKS’s bowling lineup.
2. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
With the release of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sunrisers Hyderabad are now in need of a reliable fast bowler to assist Pat Cummins. Arshdeep’s ability to bowl effectively at both the start and the death overs makes him an attractive option for SRH. His experience and skill set could help solidify their bowling attack, especially as they aim to lift another IPL trophy.

3. Gujarat Titans (GT)
Gujarat Titans are also expected to pursue Arshdeep as they look to enhance their bowling attack following an underwhelming IPL 2024 season. With injury to Mohammed Shami impacting their performance last year, adding a bowler of Arshdeep’s caliber could provide much-needed depth and versatility. His potential development under head coach Ashish Nehra, a former international fast bowler, would further benefit his career.
As the IPL 2025 mega auction approaches, Arshdeep’s future remains a hot topic of discussion, with several teams keen to secure his services. Given his impressive performances in both IPL and international cricket, he is likely to command a significant price in the auction.
