Many exciting bets were seen in the two-day IPL 2025 mega auction. While the franchises spent money to buy Rishabh Pant, Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer, many strong players had to return empty-handed. Umesh was also one of those players. After being released by Gujarat Titans after IPL 2024, he turned to the mega auction. Umesh had kept his base price at Rs 2 crore, but when his name was called in the auction hall, no franchise showed interest in buying him.
Entry made in IPL 2025
In the IPL 2024 auction, Gujarat Titans bought Umesh Yadav for Rs 5.80 crore. But his performance last season was not very good. Due to this, no franchise showed confidence in him in the mega auction and he had to remain unsold. However, now there is speculation about him that he can be a part of IPL 2025.
Actually, after a few months the franchises will start their preparations for the tournament. During this time players are often seen struggling with injuries, whereas if a fast bowler gets injured while practising, then Umesh Yadav can get an entry in IPL 2025.
You can be a part of this team
Umesh Yadav has a lot of experience in IPL. He has played about 150 matches of the Indian T20 League. During this time, he proved his bowling prowess and made a place in the hearts of the fans. He has represented four teams so far. Umesh Yadav has managed to take 144 wickets in 148 IPL matches. If any player of Delhi Capitals or Kolkata Knight Riders gets injured, then the 37-year-old bowler can get a place in his absence.
