The mega auction of IPL 2025 will be held in Jeddah on 24 and 25 November. More than 1500 players have registered for this auction. This 42-year-old veteran has included himself in the IPL auction for the first time. Former England captain Michael Vaughan has predicted Anderson.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan said that he 'would not be surprised' if veteran fast bowler Jimmy Anderson becomes a part of the Chennai Super Kings team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as this former champion team likes fast bowlers who can swing. Anderson retired from Test cricket earlier this year.

Why can CSK make a bet?

Former Australian great wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist was also included in this podcast. Vaughan said, 'Chennai Super Kings is a team that likes bowlers with the ability to swing in the early overs. There has always been such a bowler in their team, be it Shardul Thakur or someone else. I would not be surprised if Jimmy Anderson is seen in Chennai's team.'

Anderson's base price is 1.25 crore

James Anderson played his last T20 match 10 years ago in 2014. Anderson, who has taken 704 Test wickets, never chose to be a part of this league to give priority to the oldest cricket. He has joined the IPL mega auction with a base price of Rs 1.25 crore. When Anderson was asked about this decision, he said that he is joining this auction to increase his understanding of the game.

Why do you suddenly want to play IPL?

Anderson said on the 'BBC Radio Podcast' last week, "I believe that I still can give something to the game. I can still play. I have never played IPL, I have never experienced it and for many reasons, I feel that I have a lot more to give as a player."
