Legendary cricketer Shoaib Akhtar has named one batter from the current Pakistan team that, according to him, could fetch millions at the auctions of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
IPL started last week on March 26. Players from all major countries took part in this tournament other than Pakistani Players who were banned after the first season of IPL 2008 as the relationship between Pakistan and India worsened due to terror attacks.
Recently, Former pacer Shoaib Akhtar was asked which Pakistan player would attract the highest bid if they are allowed to play in the IPL.
Akhtar said in jest “I think me even if I am on wheelchairs”. Akhtar later went on to take Babar Azam‘s name.
“It would be great to see Babar Azam and Virat Kohli opening the innings together in the IPL one day. What an exciting moment that would be. In the auction, Babar would go for 15-20 crore INR and could be the most expensive Pakistan player,” Akhtar said while speaking to Sportskeeda.
Babar is currently the number 1 ranked T20 batter in the world. The stylish right-hander is busy leading Pakistan in the three-match ODI series against Australia.
