IPL 2026 Auction: The mini auction of IPL 2026 has once again surprised everyone. The future of many young players was decided in this auction, but everyone’s eyes were fixed on those two names. Saqib Hussain has become a topic of discussion after the mini auction of IPL 2026. Sunrisers Hyderabad have expressed confidence in this young fast bowler and included him in their team. Let us know who is Saqib Hussain and why a big bid was made on him.
Saqib Hussain is a resident of Gopalganj district of Bihar. Coming from a very ordinary family, Saqib has made his mark as an emerging fast bowler in the cricket world on the basis of his hard work and speed. Shakib has the ability to bowl excellent yorkers in the death overs. Which made him a hot pick in the auction.
When Saqib Hussain’s name came up in the mini auction, many teams started competing. Ultimately Sunrisers Hyderabad bought Shakib for Rs 1.20 crore with a base price of Rs 30 lakh. For an uncapped player to get four times his base price shows his talent.
Saqib’s journey has not been easy. Coming from a state like Bihar and reaching IPL shows his hard work. Shakib has performed brilliantly for Bihar in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and other domestic tournaments. Before being selected in IPL, he was associated with Kolkata Knight Riders and other teams as a net bowler, where he troubled the big batsmen with his balls.
