Umran Malik UNSOLD! No franchise boards “Jammu Express” at IPL 2025 mega auction

The 150 KMP speed pacer Umran Malik did not get any buyers in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction. Kashmir’s sensational bowler, who was once in demand by franchises, has gone unsold in the latest edition of the auction.

The pacer had kept his base price at Rs. 75 Lakh. In the IPL 2024, his base price was Rs. 4 crore, and he played for a total of Rs. 4 crore.

Umran’s up & down IPL career

Umran has been released by his franchise, Sunrisers Hyderabad, who he’s represented since 2021, and wishes to either return back or find a new home. He was the talk of the town back in 2022. He’d debuted in the season prior but gotten just 3 matches and gotten limited success. In 2022, however, he played the entire season and ended up as the fourth-highest wicket-taker.

The following seasons haven’t been great, though. In the last two years, he has played just 9 matches and taken 5 wickets while going at 10.57 runs per over. In three years, his whole world has turned upside down. He was still talked about until last season due to his rapid pace but Mayank Yadav‘s arrival on the IPL circuit has stopped those conversations as well.
