The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is gearing up for another exciting season with ten teams ready to battle for the trophy. Fans can look forward to seeing their favorite franchises, including Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, and Royal Challengers Bangalore, alongside newer teams like Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants. The player squads include a mix of seasoned international stars, rising talents, and exciting new additions from the auction.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction took place on November 24 and 25 at the Abady Al-Johar Arena in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Over two days, the 10 IPL teams strategized to build their squads for the next three seasons. This mega auction, held every three years, gives teams the chance to overhaul their lineups or start fresh. A pool of 577 players, including 367 Indians and 210 overseas players, was up for grabs. Player base prices ranged from ₹30 lakh to ₹2 crore.
The Lucknow Super Giants made history by signing Rishabh Pant for ₹27 crore, breaking the previous record set briefly by Punjab Kings, who bought Shreyas Iyer for ₹26.75 crore. In a historic moment, 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi from Bihar became the youngest cricketer ever selected in an IPL auction, as Rajasthan Royals secured him for ₹1.1 crore.

How the IPL 2025 Auction Worked
Ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, each of the 10 teams was allowed to retain a maximum of six players from their previous squads. This included up to five capped players and two uncapped Indian players. The total cost of the retained players was subtracted from the team’s auction budget.
Teams that did not use their full quota of six retentions could use the remaining spots as Right to Match (RTM) cards during the auction. These cards allowed teams to match the highest bid for any of their former players and retain them. For example, if a team retained only four players, it could use two RTM cards. The cap on the number of capped and uncapped players still applied.
Punjab Kings, having retained only two uncapped players, had the largest purse of ₹110.5 crore and could use RTM cards for four capped players. In contrast, Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders, both of whom exercised their full retention quota, had budgets of ₹41 crore and ₹51 crore, respectively, and no RTM cards available.
