Allah Ghazanfar has registered himself for the IPL 2025 mega auction at the base price of INR 75 lakh. The Afghanistan spinner was a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders squad for the last IPL season although he could not make his debut in the tournament.
While he had registered himself for the 2023 and 2024 IPL auctions, he went unsold in both. Later, Kolkata Knight Riders roped him in as a replacement for his compatriot Mujeeb Ur Rahman.
Unlike the last two auctions, Ghazanfar is set to attract several teams in the 2025 auction thanks to his recent exploits.
He made his debut in international cricket earlier this year through the ODI format and has hit the ground running. Earlier this month, he picked up a sensational six-wicket haul against Bangladesh to fire his team to a brilliant victory.
Ghazanfar was also impressive in Afghanistan's victorious campaign at the Emerging Teams Asia Cup.
He had picked up six wickets in four games in the tournament. Overall, he has played 16 T20s so far and has taken 29 wickets while maintaining an economy rate of less than 6.
