Noor Ahmad Bought By Chennai Super Kings For INR 10 crore at IPL Auction 2025

Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad has registered himself for the IPL 2025 mega auction at a base price of INR 2 crore. The 19-year-old plied his trade for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024.

Noor caught the cricketing world's attention as a teen prodigy before earning his maiden IPL contract from Gujarat Titans in 2022. He is a left-arm leg-break bowler, a rarity in the game, and is fast becoming one of the best spinners in the world.

He did not play any game in IPL 2022 and made his debut in 2023. In IPL 2023, Noor played 13 games and picked up an impressive 16 wickets while maintaining an economy rate of less than 8. In IPL 2024, Noor played 10 games for the Gujarat-based outfit and picked up 8 wickets.

He is also a regular on the Afghanistan team. Noor has played 10 ODIs and 14 T20Is so far and has taken a total of 16 wickets across formats. In both the white-ball formats, his economy rate is less than 7.
