Former South African fast bowler Dale Steyn has made a bold prediction about the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction, claiming that young all-rounder Marco Jansen could attract a massive bid. The auction is set to take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and many players, including Jansen, are hoping for big offers from the franchises.
Marco Jansen’s Recent Performances Spark Interest
Marco Jansen, who has set his base price at INR 1.25 Crore, has been in superb form lately. The left-arm seamer impressed everyone with his performance in the third T20I against India, where he took 1/28 in four overs and then turned the game around with a blistering knock of 54 off just 17 balls. His half-century came off just 16 balls, making it the second-fastest for South Africa in T20I history. Although South Africa lost the match by 11 runs, Jansen’s all-round display showcased his potential as a valuable asset in the IPL.
Dale Steyn, impressed by Jansen’s showing, took to his social media account to predict that Jansen could easily fetch INR 10 Crore in the auction. Steyn wrote, “Marco Jansen. A 10 crore player? I’d say so.”
Marco Jansen’s IPL Journey So Far
Marco Jansen has previously played for Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL. Over 21 matches, he has taken 20 wickets. In IPL 2024, he played only three matches for SRH, where he managed to pick just one wicket. Despite this, his recent all-round performances make him an attractive target for IPL teams looking for a fast-bowling all-rounder who can contribute with both bat and ball.
With over 90 South African players, including stars like Dewald Brevis, Quinton de Kock, and Faf Du Plessis, entering the auction, Jansen could be one of the standout buys in the IPL 2025 mega auction. His current form and all-round abilities will likely make him a hot commodity, and many IPL franchises are expected to bid aggressively for him.
