The Indian Premier League (IPL) is known for its high-profile buys during the auction, where franchises often break records to secure top talent. While I cannot predict the specific buys for the 2025 season, we can expect certain trends based on past patterns, such as:
NEW DELHI: In a historic moment at the IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant became the most expensive player in the league's history, with a record-breaking bid of Rs 27 crore from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Pant surpassed Shreyas Iyer, who was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 26.75 crore, as franchises aggressively pursued marquee Indian stars. Both Pant and Iyer entered the auction after parting ways with their previous teams. Iyer, who had captained Kolkata Knight Riders to the IPL title earlier this year, briefly held the record for the highest bid before LSG made their stunning offer for Pant. Despite Delhi Capitals using their Right to Match (RTM) card at Rs 20.75 crore, they chose not to match LSG’s overwhelming bid.
