We look at three underrated overseas youngsters who might get first-time IPL contracts in the IPL 2025 auction.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the best cricketing league in the world, and every player wishes to be part of the carnival at least once in their career. The tournament’s most significant strength has been its players, for the world’s finest cricketers grace the league and make it competitive.
Every year several fresh local and overseas ones come into the tournament and showcase their skillsets to impress everyone. Several quality overseas players have been coming through and performed well in other T20 tournaments, with a few set to feature in IPL for the first time next year.
We look at three underrated overseas youngsters who might get first-time IPL contracts in the IPL 2025 auction.
Jewel Andrew is among the finest young sensations in world cricket, for he has a flair and panache in his batting. He first impressed in the U-19 World Cup earlier this year, scoring 207 runs at an average of 69 and a strike rate of 109.52 in four outings, including a century.
Andrew has been among the runs, even in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL), with 125 runs at a 31.25 average and a fifty. Given his capabilities, it won’t be surprising if Jewel grabs some eyeballs in the IPL 2025 auction.
