The ISPL 2025 auction turned out to be a game-changer for the Tiigers of Kolkata, who strategically assembled a squad packed with talent, flair, and promise.
With some remarkable signings, they made their intentions clear for the upcoming season: to dominate the league and continue their winning streak.
The Tiigers' management approached the auction with precision, focusing on acquiring a balanced mix of emerging talent and experienced players. The highlight of the auction was their aggressive bidding to secure Fardeen Kazi for a whopping Rs 15.90 lakh. Kazi, known for his explosive all-round performances, is expected to be the backbone of their squad, bringing both firepower and consistency.
Another major acquisition was Prathamesh Thakare, who was snapped up for Rs 11 lakh. A proven match-winner, Thakare's ability to anchor the innings and finish strong makes him a crucial asset. Imroz Khan, another star signing at Rs 9.50 lakh, adds depth to their bowling lineup. Known for his sharp pace and ability to strike at crucial moments, Khan will lead the charge with the ball.
Apart from these top-tier buys, the Tiigers invested in promising talents like Bhavesh Pawar (Rs 8.50 lakh) and Thomas Dias (Rs 8.15 lakh), who are expected to play pivotal roles.
Icon Bhavesh Pawar played for the Kolkata franchise last season and was a key member of the title-winning side. He picked up 13 wickets last season, the joint-highest with Raju Mukhiya.
The management also displayed smart financial management by securing quality players at base prices, including Shivam Kumar, Sarfraz Khan, and Subhajit Jana Dhoni, each at Rs 3 lakh.
