The CPL 2024 has ended, with the St. Lucia Kings winning their maiden title. In the final, the Kings defeated the Guyana Amazon Warriors to lift the trophy for the first time after three attempts.

During the entire season, fans and followers witnessed some brilliant performances by the players. One of the brightest examples was Aaron Jones, who, after a successful T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, delivered a power-packed performance in the tournament's summit clash.

With the IPL 2025 mega auction approaching, the franchises will keep an eager eye on the performance of the players in the different leagues around the world. Here are three players from CPL 2024 who might be expensive buys during the IPL 2025 mega auction - 

3. Mikyle Louis

Innings: 8 Runs: 201 Strike Rate: 141.55 Average: 28.71

Playing for St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots, Mikyle Louis played a crucial role in their middle order. The batter maintained a decent average of 28.71 and scored at an impressive strike rate 141.55. Given the failure of the other batters and the team as a whole, his performances were not highlighted. However, the scouts of the IPL teams would have tracked his performances and might have pursued him during the auction. 

2. Gudakesh Motie

Innings: 13 Wickets: 17 Economy: 7.29 Strike Rate: 15.00

The West Indian left-arm spinner played a major role in the Guyana Amazon Warriors making it to the final. Gudakesh Motie bowled some crucial spells and regularly delivered with wickets. The biggest plus with Motie was his efficiency in all game phases. The IPL teams would like a spinner who can be efficient in all the match phases, and hence, Motie might go for a high price during the auction. 

1. Waqar Salamkheil

Innings: 10 Wickets 15 Economy: 8.36 Strike Rate: 15.00

The Afghan left-arm wrist spinner was one of the prime reasons the TKR found themselves in the playoffs of the CPL 2024. Waqar Salamkheil has shown his efficiency and effectiveness for some time now in different leagues around the world. Given his wicket-taking abilities and consistency, Waqar Salamkheil might be among the most expensive buys in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
