From Taking Wickets to Cashing In: Anshul Kamboj's IPL Journey!

Anshul Kamboj's historic 10-wicket haul lands him a jaw-dropping ₹3.40 crore deal with CSK! Discover the journey of this young pacer!

In a remarkable twist of fate that even the cricketing gods couldn’t have scripted better, Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj has sent shockwaves through the cricket world with his recent performance, securing a whopping ₹3.4 crore deal with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2025 mega auction. The cricketing community knew something special was brewing when Kamboj etched his name into Ranji Trophy history by taking all 10 wickets in a single inning against Kerala, with an astonishing bowling figure of 10/49. This performance not only made headlines but also proved that he is a force to be reckoned with on the pitch.

Sold during a dazzling IPL auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Kamboj's base price was set at ₹20 lakh, but it was clear that teams would be vying for the young all-rounder’s skills. His explosive potential and raw talent were recognized, and CSK outbid everyone to secure this golden ticket. Anshul's rise in the world of cricket serves as a testament to the power of perseverance, demonstrating that with hard work and determination, dreams can indeed come true.

But it doesn't end there! Kamboj had spent his previous IPL season with the Mumbai Indians, where he garnered experience playing three matches and picked up two valuable wickets. While his stint might not have been jaw-droppingly impressive, it was enough for him to hone his skills on the grand stage. This foundational experience played a crucial role in shaping him into the player CSK is now willing to invest heavily in.

As the IPL season unfolds, all eyes will be on Kamboj to see if he can continue his meteoric rise and contribute to CSK’s chase for another title. Interesting fact: the last time a player made history on such a scale, he went on to become the captain of the Indian team! And as if that’s not enough, did you know that in the previous IPL season, the highest bid recorded was a staggering ₹16 crore? Talk about a cricketing rollercoaster!
