IPL Auctions Will Linger In The Back Of Players' Mind During India-SA T20Is, Says Uthappa
SA T20Is: At first glance, the four-match T20I series between India and South Africa, kicking off in Durban on Friday, seems like another bilateral series for both teams to test players in preparation for the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup.
But with the backdrop of the IPL 2025 mega auction, happening on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, this series suddenly gains critical significance for both teams for earning a tournament contract. From India, Jitesh Sharma, Arshdeep Singh, Vijaykumar Vyshak and Avesh Khan are in the auction pool.
Except for Heinrich Klaasen, all South African players are up for grabs in the IPL auction and strong performances against India would increase their chances of getting a deal. Former India batter Robin Uthappa, an IPL winner with Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings, acknowledges the pressure of the auction will be on the minds of players in the series.
