3 Top Batters From The Men’s Hundred 2024 Who Might Find A Bid In IPL 2025 Mega Auction

The Men’s Hundred 2024 season finally concluded on 18th August with the defending champions Oval Invincibles retaining the title beating the Southern Brave in the final. Batting first, Oval Invincibles scored 147 runs, which once looked below par, but the Invincibles only allowed the Southern Brave to score 130 runs in their 100 balls and won the match by 17 runs to retain their title.

The Men’s Hundred 2024 season brought to us some great performances throughout the season. The season ended with all the teams registering atleast one win this season. It was also tight at the top of the table as the top 3 teams were only decided by the Net Run Rate with the 1st and 2nd placed teams on 12 points each while the 3rd and 4th placed teams equal with 11 points each.

The Hundred 2024 was also a great occasion for some of the players to impress the Indian Premier League (IPL) scouts with the IPL 2025 Mega Auction likely to happen later this year. In this article, we will take a look at 3 batters who might play in IPL 2025 season after their stellar Hundred 2024 season.

James Vince

The first name in the list is the league’s top scorer this season, the veteran England batter James Vince. Vince, 33, scored a staggering 424 runs in 10 innings with a strike rate of 142.76 and average of 53.00, displaying a great consistency throughout the season. Vince has been in stellar form this season using all his experience. He began the season with 244 runs in Big Bash League, 356 runs in ILT20, 214 runs in Pakistan Super League, 283 runs in T20 Blast prior to the Hundred 2024.

Ben Duckett

England cricket team’s Test opening batter Ben Duckett has already garnered a reputation for playing aggressive cricket in the cricket’s most toughest format. Duckett displayed his great class in The Hundred 2024, coming in as a savior of his team Birmingham Phoenix, helping them take to the playoffs. Ben Duckett played 7 matches and scored 269 runs with a strike rate of 171.34 and average of 67.25, quite literally the best batter in The Men’s Hundred 2024 season. With many IPL teams needing a good opener, Duckett could be in huge demand.

Jordan Cox

23-years-old wicketkeeper batter Jordan Cox looks destined to playing for the England cricket team eventually. The talented lad played for the eventual champions Oval Invincibles and finished as the top run getter for his team. The Invincibles’ batter scored 214 runs in 7 innings with a strike rate of 143.52 and average of 42.80. Prior to that, Cox scored 205 runs in 8 innings in the Blast 2024 season. Cox is also doing well in the red ball stuff which proves that Jordan Cox could soon be a all format player for the England cricket team.
