Due to his superior skills, Harry Brook will once again be in high demand during the IPL 2025 auction.
Harry Brook is among the best young talents in world cricket. He is among those few foreign batsmen who are equally adept at pace and spin and have world-class potential.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) paid a high price of INR 13.25 crore in the IPL 2023 auction, but Brook could not perform as per expectations and was later released. Later, Delhi Capitals (DC) got him for INR 4 crore in the IPL 2025 auction, but he did not come to play due to personal reasons and was released again.
Due to his superior skills, he will once again be in high demand during the IPL 2025 auction. We have noted three teams that could go after him.
Riders of the Knights of Calcutta
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have released Shreyas Iyer and Nitish Rana, their middle-order batsmen. They will need a solid specialist who can complement the pacesetters, and Harry Brook is an ideal player to do so.
Apart from handling spin well, Brook has every chance against pace and can bat in different gears. He will thrive on the flat roofs of Kolkata and will be a long-term investment for the franchise.

Capitals of Delhi
Delhi Capitals (DC) may have let Harry Brook go, but there is a strong possibility that they will bid for him again or use RTM. They already have Tristan Stubbs in the middle and need another versatile player, and there are few better than Brook in that category.
The courts in Delhi have been flat and Brook will enjoy playing here as he is a shooter who likes to play high up. He will fit perfectly at the 4 or 5 spot, followed by Stubbs, making DC a formidable batting unit.
Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals (RR) have released Jos Buttler, so Sanju Samson could start opening again. That will leave a vacancy at the No. 3 spot, and with Riyan Parag’s boundary gears being stronger than pace, RR would want a prolific spin player.
Brook fills that role while also providing flexibility to change his batting positions to fit perfectly into the setup. His inclusion will leave RR with too many batsmen who can bat at different batting spots as per need, given that they already have Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer for these roles.
