Want to know which team Trent Boult will play for in IPL 2025?
Even though Trent Boult had a decent outing for Rajasthan Royals in the 2024 season, the franchise didn’t retain him ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. But the Royals may buy him back in the upcoming auction as he provides a reliable pace option at the start and end.
Since Boult is back in the auction fray, other franchises may as well go after him to add a quick into their ranks. The left-arm pacer can swing the new ball both ways, which can trouble batters in the initial overs.
Trent Boult will play for Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2025 after being bought for INR 12.5 crore in the auction.
