IPL 2025 Mega Auction: The Hammer that Holds Power over Cricketers' Futures

In an exclusive revelation, BCCI unveiled the master behind the hammer that will shape the destiny of over 574 cricketers in next year's IPL mega auction - none other than veteran cricket administrator Mallika Sagar.

Sagar, known for her no-nonsense approach and razor-sharp instincts, holds key to the bidding process. The names of these 574 cricklers who have been invited to the mega auction are at stake, as Sagar's decisions will determine their fate.

According to sources within the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Sagar is not leaving any stone unturned in ensuring a fair and transparent bidding process. From assessing the players' performances in the shorter formats to evaluating their market rates, Sagar will be using her expertise to help clubs make informed decisions.

With an unprecedented number of big-name cricketers expected to participate in the auction, Sagar's role is crucial in separating the wheat from the chaff. As one insider revealed, "Mallika's reputation as a shrewd administrator and player assessors' go-to expert has earned her immense trust among the franchise owners. She will be taking up this responsibility with her characteristic precision and insight."

While some are hailing Sagar for keeping an eye on fairness, others question if her unyielding stance could result in cricketers missing out on their dreams to play in big leagues.

In the build-up to the mega auction, BCCI officials have promised a smooth bidding process that is devoid of controversies. Sagar, an expert in player assessments, has been entrusted with the task to ensure no deserving cricketer misses out from taking part in the coveted league due to an unfair deal.
