Saurabh Netravalkar to Play in IPL 2025? RCB Head Coach Makes Major Statement

Saurabh Netravalkar, a fast bowler for the USA, has emerged as a major revelation in the T20 World Cup 2024. This Indian-origin player, now representing the USA, has even caught the attention of RCB’s head coach, Andy Flower.

There’s a chance Saurabh Netravalkar could be part of RCB in IPL 2025, according to Andy Flower. He went on to talk about his time with the USA fast bowler during the ILT20 tournament. Here’s what Andy Flower told ESPNCricinfo:

“Well, his stocks have flown off the roof, I think. I must say I really enjoyed working with him in the ILT20. Smart guy, very skillful, and a great man around the team. Very independent and self-managed. So without a doubt, people will be looking and thinking, that’s a left-arm swing bowler who can also bowl for us at the death.”

In the T20 World Cup 2024, Saurabh Netravalkar has claimed 6 wickets in 4 matches at an economy rate of 5.21 and an average of 12.17. He has taken the wickets of key players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Mohammad Rizwan.

With a mega auction planned before IPL 2025, Saurabh has a chance to earn a contract with a team, provided everything goes smoothly.
