The IPL 2025 mega auction is scheduled for November 24 and November 25 and as always there is massive excitement for the event. Many big players awould be going under the hammer with this being the mega auction and one of them is Yuzvendra Chahal. He is the leading wicket-taker in the tournament and would be in great demand with plenty of franchises expected to bid for the bowler.

Rajasthan Royals surprisingly released him, but he was an invaluable asset for them in the last three years, and here are the few reasons why they will try and repurchase him.

Yuzvendra Chahal: A Genuine Wicket-Taker

Yuzvendra Chahal has been the tournament's most consistent bowler and has picked wickets in varied conditions. He was brilliant for RCB before the 2022 season and in the three seasons, he played for RR, the leg-spinner bagged 66 wickets. So, he takes wickets on regular basis and it is the reason why he is at the top of the list of leading wicket-takers.

There are bowlers in world cricket who take the pitch out of equation with their skills and tactics and Chahal is surely one of them. Both Chinnaswamy and Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur are traditionally good batting decks, which speaks a lot about his special talent.

Experience Of Performing Under Pressure And Reliability

One of the major facets of Yuzvendra Chahal's game is his ability to deliver under pressure. He can bowl in the Powerplay and at the death too. For RR, he bowled plenty of overs at the backend and got wickets for his side whenever they needed one. This quality of striking at crucial junctures makes him a hot asset and it is something RR will and should take into consideration when his name pops up in the mega auction.

He was Sanju Samson's go-to-man during the last season and the captain might also play a part in his repurchase.

Loyalty And Bond With The Franchise

Yuzvendra Chahal is a very popular figure in world cricket and has fans all over the globe. He was one of the poster boys of the franchise in the last three seasons and the relation between him and the team management always looked special. He shares a special bond with captain Sanju Samson as well, and the current head coach, Rahul Dravid also has spent lot of time with Yuzvendra Chahal in the past.

Franchises in IPL also tend to respect loyalty as it helps them build their fanbase. So, Chahal's reunion with RR will help them keep that loyalty factor intact and grow their 'Pink Army' further after productive last few years.
