00:00Shardul Thakur might have gone unsold in the last round of IPL 2025 Mega Auction.

00:11He has become the 7th player who has gone unsold and only 2 players have been bought so far.

00:17So Shardul Thakur, the first player of set no. 14 has been unsold.

00:21No team has shown interest but it is not that they will not get a buyer.

00:24They can get a buyer.

00:26So the second player of set no. 14, will he get a buyer?

00:33Washington Sundar, will he get a buyer or not?

00:35He will get a buyer.

00:36He is playing with the Indian team.

00:38He has made history in Australia.

00:41He is playing well.

00:43And as an off spinner, he can get 2-3 overs in the first 6 overs.

00:50So he can go with any team.

00:53And this will go against him because he is coming late.

00:59So no team will chase him for a long time.

01:02So he might get a buyer at a low rate.

01:05Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans are showing interest.

01:08Chennai Super Kings are also showing interest to buy Washington Sundar.

01:12It is possible that they are looking for Ashwin's replacement.

01:15What if Ashwin gets injured?

01:17Because between Gujarat and Chennai Super Kings,

01:22Washington Sundar is in a hurry to buy.

01:26Lucknow Super Giants have also returned to the game.

01:29So it is possible that one of Lucknow and GT will lose.

01:33Because Chennai does not have that many purses.

01:35So it will be interesting to see because Bolly has crossed 3 crores.

01:38How much will you buy Washington Sundar?

01:40Do tell us by commenting.

01:42The accelerator round is about to start.

01:44And the players will be bought and sold quickly.

01:47So for now, Bolly is on Washington Sundar.

01:50Washington Sundar is giving a tough fight between Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans.

01:58We have to think about who will get a buyer.

02:01Because I think RCB can also go.

02:03RCB will get a good office winner in the batting powerplay.

02:06And they have already played with RCB.

02:08Gujarat Titans have bought Washington Sundar for 3 crores and 20 lakhs.

02:13Gujarat Titans have bought Washington Sundar for 3 crores and 20 lakhs.

02:18So here you will also get Washington Sundar for sale.

02:23And now it will be interesting to see who is the third player of set number 14.

02:30Because here the performance of the match is different.

02:35But now there is no purse left.

02:37Yesterday we were talking about 600 crores.

02:41So Sam Karan is the third player of set number 14.

02:46So Sam Karan should get a buyer.

02:48And RCB should go.

02:50Not just RCB, CSK should also show interest.

02:53Because they will get a fast bowling all-rounder overseas.

02:57So it is very interesting to see.

03:00In the last season, expensive players were sold.

03:05So there is a base price of 2 crores for England.

03:08Which was the 2021 World Cup.

03:10He was also the man of the match in the final.

03:13Because of that, their stocks were raised a lot.

03:16And last time Punjab Kings bought it at a very high price.

03:19So there is a contest between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings.

03:26Chennai will raise its hand after 4-5 crores.

03:28Chennai will not be able to go more than 5 crores.

03:30Punjab can go.

03:31They have a lot of purse left.

03:32So here we are talking about Sam Karan.

03:35Which team do you want Sam Karan to play for?

03:37Do tell us in the comments.

03:39And which team do you want him to play for?

03:41Till then we will keep telling you.

03:43So here in Sam Karan, Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings.

03:46Between two Kings.

03:48There is a clash between a former Super King and a former Punjab King.

03:54And both need this.

03:56Actually, both the teams are desperate for Sam Karan.

04:00And if we think about Sam Karan personally.

04:04It would be better for him to go to Chennai.

04:06Because when he played for Chennai.

04:08His career graph was also very high.

04:11In 2020, the way this player played alone.

04:15It was a very bad year for Chennai.

04:17So Chennai can be a good team there.

04:19Chennai will go up to 5-6 crores.

04:21And Punjab, because you don't have that much money.

04:23You have only 22 crores.

04:25You know that the all-rounders will come.

04:27And you have bought the right players.

04:29You have bought Shreyas Iyer.

04:31You have bought 2-3 more important players.

04:35Because of whom you can win the match.

04:37So you can also invest money on Sam Karan.

04:39And with Punjab, you can also use the Punjab RTM.

04:42But do they have any players left?

04:44No, because you have Glen Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis as players.

04:48So you can invest that much.

04:50But he is a fast bowling all-rounder.

04:52There is a difference.

04:53Stoinis is a fast bowling all-rounder.

04:54And he is a medium pace.

04:56So the all-rounders have got Glen Maxwell again.

04:59I am sorry.

05:01Sam Karan.

05:02Sam Karan.

05:03So I think this is a good thing.
